Chapter 380

As one of the smart people of Prosperity, Jingkun is really happy today!

Being able to chat with him like this is more substantial than giving him a source of wealth; after all, A Xin can help him avoid many detours, and this path is hard to buy even with a thousand gold.

No matter what you're doing, the worst thing is to be holding a pig's head and unable to find the temple door!

At this moment, Jianguo walked in and placed the big brother phone in front of Li Xin: "Boss, it's Liu Bo's call, his tone is urgent!"

Li Xin took the phone and immediately asked: "Liu Bo, what's the matter?"

This old treasure has often lent him a hand; with Liu Bo in trouble, Li Xin can't just sit idly by!

Need people? We've got people. Need money? We've got money!

Liu Bo choked up, his voice urgent: "A Xin!"

He was so emotional he couldn't finish what he wanted to say.

Li Xin reassured him: "Liu Bo, steady your heart; your affair is mine, Li Xin's. Tell me what happened, and only then can I handle it for you—right?"

Liu Bo calmed a little and told Li Xin: "A Xin, you know my son went out to sea and never returned."

But I have a grandson who's very promising; after graduating from HKU he joined the police and became a senior inspector. Yet today, while trying to rescue a rich man, he accidentally beat someone to death.

Now he and his team are in custody; I had no recourse, so I called you.

Li Xin felt the matter was familiar, recalling the surname Liu Bo had mentioned before, and asked: "Liu Bo, is your grandson named Qiu Gang'ao?"

Exactly, A Xin, my grandson is Qiu Gang'ao; I never told you that—how did you know?

Liu Bo first confirmed the fact, then posed a question.

Li Xin didn't answer Liu Bo's question, but shifted the topic: "Liu Bo, wait calmly in Xi Gong; I'll check the situation and bring A'ao back to you."

Hearing Li Xin's promise, Liu Bo's heart settled by half; since knowing A Xin, A Xin has never spoken empty words.

If he says he can do it, he follows through with both quality and quantity!

Li Xin hung up and told Jingkun: "Brother Kun, I was going to get drunk with you tonight, but Liu Bo in Xi Gong has something for me to take care of, so let's put off our drinks."

Jingkun, knowing who Liu Bo was, asked: "A Xin, do you need my help?"

Li Xin said bluntly: "Brother Kun, if I need you I won't hold back; I don't yet know the details, I'll look into it first and then let you know."

Jingkun didn't stay long; before leaving he said: "A Xin, no need for more words—if there's anything I can do, just tell me; I'm heading back to Mong Kok to wait for your call."

"Mm, I won't hold back with you!"

After Jingkun left, Li Xin phoned his close Big Brother.

"Big Brother, it's A Xin! I have a favor to ask—what do you think?"

Old Huang was at home enjoying his wife's attentions, about to seek help, when his close younger brother Li Xin called with a lifeline.

Old Huang covered the phone and told his wife: "Hey! Today's thing is just an accident; Xiao Li had no time, so he asked me to take his wife to look at jewelry—can I still pull the wool over your eyes?"

"Sure, you haven't lied to me enough yet?"

Yi Sao snorted at Old Huang's words; this good-for-nothing, if not beaten for two days, will start tearing off roof tiles—today I must give him a stern lesson, or he'll never learn.

Old Huang glanced at the phone and whispered: "A Xin is looking for me about something; even when A Xin is on a business trip to Japan, he never forgets you, sister-in-law, and specially brought you this jewelry—won't you give him face?"

Yi Sao shot Old Huang a look, picked up the phone and asked: "Is that A Xin?"

"It's me, sister-in-law."

The chill on Yi Sao's face faded, and she smiled: "A Xin, you're still thoughtful; you never forget me, sister-in-law, no matter when. Old Huang, this heartless man, has today given me another sore spot to latch onto."

"If it weren't for your call, I'd definitely make him look bad; all right! Since you have business with him, I won't keep you longer—come by when you have time, and sister-in-law will make you a nice soup."

"Okay! Still, sister-in-law dotes on me."

Hearing Li Xin's sweet talk, Yi Sao's smile blossomed: "You behaving? If sister-in-law doesn't dote on you, who else would she dote on—this heartless one?"

Li Xin hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, I'm looking for Big Brother about an urgent matter; I'll come to your place another day so we can talk in detail."

Mm, we can't keep going like this, or else he'd worry Old Huang couldn't handle it!

Old Huang hung up, smoothed his wrinkled clothes, and complained to Yi Sao: "Look at this—it's all your fault, woman; my clothes are a mess, how can I go out?"

"Get lost!"

"Okay!"

Old Huang grabbed the big brother phone and car keys and headed downstairs; he lives in a high-end apartment of about a thousand square feet, which in Gangdao already counts as a luxury residence.

As Old Huang stepped into the club, he saw Li Xin waiting at the door.

He stepped forward, put his arm around Li Xin's shoulders, and said gratefully: "A Xin, it's still you—no wonder I call you my close younger brother; you always save me from fire and water."

"Look, people say our bond is like we were born from the same mother—brothers don't keep secrets from each other."

Li Xin and Old Huang indeed treat each other without reserve; since Old Huang came to Gangdao, he has truly regarded Li Xin as a real brother.

Upon hearing Li Xin say that, Old Huang became especially happy, laughing: "What do you mean 'like'? You are my real brother!"

"You met me at the door today—there must be something big. Spill it: who do you want to take out? Big Brother will cover for you."

Li Xin!

Although Old Huang's words felt satisfying to hear, he always felt something was off!

The two sat in Old Huang's private room, and then they got down to business.

After hearing Li Xin's explanation, Old Huang then said: "A Xin, I know about Qiu Gang'ao's matter, because it happened in Central, and nothing there escapes my notice."

"Hok Siu-tong was kidnapped; a senior police official took it very seriously, ordering the serious crimes unit to solve the case within twenty-four hours, with Cheung Chung-bang and Qiu Gang'ao each responsible for tailing one of the two criminal suspects."

"Under pressure from that senior official, Qiu Gang'ao and his men, in order to quickly locate where the wealthy merchant was being held, subjected the suspect O Lok to torture to extract a confession."

"Qiu Gang'ao rescued Hok Siu-tong, but accidentally beat the suspect O Lok to death; if this were in my hands, it would be easy to resolve—damn it! Sito Kit, that gutless bastard, has not an ounce of responsibility!"

"And as for that Zhang fellow, if he worked under me, I'd never let him guard a reservoir until retirement—such is my lenient, soft-hearted nature."

"A brother who eats from the same rice bowl—his testimony is the key basis for determining guilt; the police already have his statement, and we're just waiting for it to go to court—this case won't be easy to handle!"

After listening to Old Huang finish, Li Xin smiled and glanced at him: "Big Brother, have Qiu Gang'ao and his men confessed?"

"No."

Then you say, is it possible that the person surnamed Zhang killed someone, so he framed Qiu Gang'ao?

Old Huang's eyes lit up, and he answered with a smile: "It's possible!"

(Big Brothers, it's not that there's no plot, but rather we need to lay the groundwork for the plot—several tens to hundreds of thousands of words, it can't be done in one go; today we released an extra chapter, thank everyone for their support. 379 has gone in, I'll revise it later, annoying!)
