Chapter 405: Brother Xin, Awesome!

January 1, 1985.

That day Li Xin got up early, drove to Kowloon Walled City, and watched the crowd gathering at the entrance.

Outside, over a thousand police were maintaining order, and many household registration officers were sorting ID cards.

They brought some loudspeakers to the roof of Tian Shou's vehicle.

Everyone pretty much knows me, so I won't introduce myself.

As soon as Li Xin finished speaking, a wave of cheers erupted.

Brother Xin!

Brother Xin!

Brother Xin!

Yeah, that's right, I'm Li Xin. You all know why I'm here today, so I'll ask: do you have any objections to the compensation I've offered?

No! Brother Xin gave such generous compensation; whoever dares to object, we'll tear them apart—heartless people, living is just wasting air.

That's right; from now on, if I hear anyone dare say a word against Brother Xin, I'll take their life—the lives of Kowloon Walled City residents are worthless; let's see who dares to trade with me.

Brother Xin! Awesome!

Brother Xin! I love you!

Li Xin stood on the vehicle roof, pointing at that rough guy and laughing while scolding: 'Get lost! Let your daughter shout that, that's fine—but as for you… however far you are, get that far away!'

The scene instantly became lively; the cheeks of the girl beside the rough guy turned red.

The rough guy, not embarrassed, pulled his daughter forward and shouted loudly: 'Brother Xin, is it really true?'

Pointing at his daughter, he said: 'I really do have a daughter—take a look, okay?'

……

Li Xin hurried to stop him from causing more trouble, shouting loudly: 'Elders, brothers, I've prepared the Kowloon Estate for you all—you know why it's called the Kowloon Estate; it's meant to give you something to remember.'

Live well from now on; if you feel tired, just think back to life in the Kowloon Walled City—is there anything harder than this?

If any quality issues arise in the estate, come find me—I'll hand over the project supervision for you to handle.

When the time comes, definitely don't spare me face—make those old projects of our Kowloon Walled City go through this damn experience.

I've done everything I could and couldn't; I just want everyone to live more easily. Brothers, today is New Year's Day—wishing you all family happiness and bliss.

After Li Xin finished speaking, the scene instantly erupted with blessings.

Brother Xin! May you be ennobled for ten thousand generations, your descendants flourishing.

Brother Xin! May you enjoy wealth and honor, all things go as you wish.

Brother Xin! May you live a hundred years, boundless longevity.

Those Kowloon Walled City big brothers who followed Li Xin over were all rubbing their eyes; today the wind was a bit strong, and sand got into their eyes.

A tornado glanced at the Kowloon Walled City, didn't linger, went straight onto Li Xin's car, and the car sped off.

If you don't speed up, Li Xin today is arrogant enough to leave the Kowloon Walled City—everyone's too enthusiastic, even trying to shove daughters into his car!

After Li Xin's car left, the supervising officer leading the team, Zhang Tiezhu, asked those nearby: 'How do you feel?'

Zhang Hao gave a bitter smile and replied: 'If what I previously said to Mr. Li gets out, I feel I won't even survive today!'

Zhang Tiezhu patted his shoulder: 'Ah Hao, do you know why Director Huang had me bring you along?'

Zhang Hao shook his head.

Because A Xin is Director Huang's junior brother, you can understand what that means, right?

Zhang Hao widened his eyes, looking at Zhang Tiezhu in disbelief.

Zhang Tiezhu chuckled, then said: 'Director Huang sees you've made great progress, that's why he gave you this chance. I'm on good terms with A Xin, so later if there's any news, you can also get a share—learn from it, there's plenty to learn!'

'In this world there are black and white, so there's a term called "eating both black and white."'

He pointed at Li Xin's departing vehicle and said: 'That's him.'

……

That day Li Xin was very busy; after settling the Kowloon Walled City affairs, he hurried back to Xi Gong, where as a Xi Gong councilor he still had to deliver holiday welfare to the elderly.

After delivering everything, he finally went to Uncle Six's home; Uncle Six's wife had already prepared a lavish banquet.

Qiu Gangao also came back today; seeing Li Xin enter, he hurriedly called out: 'Brother Xin, are you done with your work?'

Mm! All done.

Li Xin wasn't polite either; after sitting down, he tore off a chicken leg and started gnawing.

He was eating too fast and almost choked; Qiu Gangao, being observant, poured him a beer to help him swallow.

After the chicken leg went down, he then greeted Jianguo and the others to sit down and eat.

Uncle Six laughed heartily and said to Li Xin: 'A Xin, it's been a long time since things have been this lively at home; before A Ao came back, he'd eat and leave right away, afraid of delaying his duty call.'

With that work ethic, without your help, he wouldn't know what to do!

Li Xin picked up a chopstickful of braised beef, put it in his mouth, and after swallowing said: 'It's in the past; A Ao is now a chief inspector, settling down—he could still rise in a couple of years; Director Huang has praised him plenty.'

Uncle Six laughed: 'Isn't it just because of your face? Otherwise, just a little inspector like him couldn't catch the eye of such big shots.'

Li Xin waved his hand: 'Uncle Six, really not; I know Old Huang—if A Ao weren't tough enough himself, even with my face, he'd at most get a normal promotion; he doesn't keep idle people around.'

A Ao raised his cup and said to Li Xin: 'Brother Xin, even if I had more talent, without a Bo Le to recognize me, it would be for nothing.'

It's you who gave me the ladder, making today's opportunity possible—I toast you!

Li Xin clinked glasses with him, then said: 'A Ao, tonight I'm going to Old Huang's house; come with me—no need to prepare other gifts, just prepare some feminine tonics.'

……

This time Li Xin visited bringing He Qiong and A Ao; Jianguo and the others waited downstairs in the car.

The one who opened the door was a big-eyed girl; seeing Li Xin arrive, she smiled and greeted: 'Brother Xin, happy New Year!'

This is Old Huang's niece, Little Huang, a senior inspector!!

Happy New Year!

Li Xin brought He Qiong and A Ao into the house, pointing at He Qiong and A Ao, and introduced them to Huang Yaizi: "This is your sister-in-law He Qiong and my little brother Qiu Gang'ao."

Huang Yaizi reached out his hand to He Qiong and said: "Miss He, hello, I am Huang Yaizi."

He Qiong glanced at Huang Yaizi with a smile, took her hand and said: "A Xin hasn't stopped mentioning you to me, saying that you, Yaizi, are a female detective who lets no man outshine her."

Not at all!

Huang Yaizi humbly said: "Xin-ge is exaggerating; I only have today thanks to my uncle. I still have some self-awareness; otherwise, Inspector Zhang wouldn't have looked after me so much. Wanting to get promoted, I don't even know when that'll happen—maybe the Year of the Monkey and Horse month!"

At that moment, Sister-in-law Yao came over wearing an apron, took He Qiong's hand and said: "You must be A Qiong, right?"

Sister-in-law!

Sister-in-law Yao glanced at A Ao, then said to Li Xin: "A Xin, take this handsome guy to the study; Lao Huang is looking at the briefing."

Li Xin sighed: "Big Brother's success isn't accidental; it's inevitable. It's truly the case that to show off in front of people, you must suffer behind the scenes—even during the holidays there's no rest."
