Chapter 7, indulgence in food, drink, gambling, and luxury cars such as BMW
Li Qixin had a thought; it seems that Miss Zheng is quite suspicious. She could possibly be the buyer, or perhaps a suitor preparing to present it to her
No wonder. The most famous figures in the sea are not business tycoons, but rather the Four Young Masters and the Four Socialites, these eight idlers. Captain Lin, seeing Li Qi's confusion, explained with a smile: "People privately refer to them as: indulging in food, drink, gambling, and pleasure, with luxury cars and BMWs. Among them, the gamblers and horse enthusiasts reside in the Jin Zun villa complex."
Gambling is Mr. Li's passion. He particularly enjoys horse racing and various other forms of gambling. In his own words, a day without gambling makes meat tasteless. Since he made this statement at the dining table where Mr. Zhao was serving exquisite dishes, Mr. Zhao holds a strong dislike for him
Captain Lin, while guiding Li Qi through the area, remarked: "These eight individuals are the preferred stars of tabloids and magazines. The ability to obtain firsthand information about these eight people is a hallmark of a good journalist. Their parents are either wealthy or of noble status. Although there are many celebrities in Tinhai, these eight are but a drop in the ocean. However, since the emergence of the terms associated with indulgence in food, drink, gambling, and luxury cars, their popularity has surged. There are both praises and criticisms, and they measure themselves against this standard, taking pride in it. Yet, in Tinhai, there is also a legendary figure that cannot be overlooked.
"Ha, it's fine, you can keep it," Captain Lin said with a smile. "Company regulations prohibit carrying mobile phones with cameras. Additionally, recording devices and cameras are also not allowed. In short, we fully protect the privacy of our guests. Our main task is to monitor the surveillance footage, and we only dispatch patrols at night. If someone wants to enter, you must first call to inquire about the person they are looking for and whether they are allowed in. Otherwise, even if the mayor comes, we cannot let them in. The primary task is to identify journalists. Last month, a journalist hid in the trunk of a guest's car to enter the community and took some inappropriate photos of a certain celebrity."
Miss Wu owns ten cars, including a Porsche, Lamborghini, Rolls-Royce, Land Rover, and Ferrari. She is also a racer in the city racing club
Miss Bao is a collector who enjoys acquiring jewelry with historical significance, such as the British Queen's crown and items like the "Tears of the Blood". She has a particular fondness for jewelry that has been worn by celebrities who met with untimely deaths while wearing them. She also has a preference for crowns.
Miss Wang is a horse enthusiast who owns her own horse in Hong Kong. She is a member of the racehorse club and has previously participated in the national horse racing competition, where she won third place. However, she does not get along well with Mr. Li, who is fond of gambling. Last time, she splashed a glass of champagne on Mr. Li's head. This is a piece of gossip and has not been verified
Oh! Li Qi obediently handed over the phone
He is Qian Gongzi, the first international gold medal sommelier of Listening to the Sea. He has a private vineyard in France. It is said that there is a private wine cellar in the basement of his residence, and whenever he acquires a good bottle of wine, he always hosts a gathering. Only the winners of the games are qualified to taste a glass of wine. Otherwise, even his father and sister have no right to drink.
Height 168 centimeters, weight 53 kilograms. Spraying precious perfume. The possibility of carrying hazardous materials is 0.1 percent
Li Qi humbly inquired: "How to say?"
After getting acquainted, Captain Lin took Li Qi to a room. This was a single-story cement building located by the wall of the villa complex. Each room contained four iron frame beds. The location was relatively secluded, shielded by three large trees. The residents of the villa complex would not pass by here, and the villas were not visible from this spot. Captain Lin said, "Xiao Li, I apologize. According to regulations, you need to hand in your mobile phone"
No one knows whether he exists or not. This person is also the enemy of these eight young masters and mistresses. Captain Lin said in a lowered voice: "Everyone refers to him as the Thief Hero."
It is somewhat interesting that this dedicated elevator does not display the floors it stops at. Typically, when a person uses the elevator, they first select the floor and then call the elevator. If someone with ill intentions is paying attention, they would know which floor the person is going to. However, this plainclothes woman first closed the elevator door before operating it. It may seem inconsequential, but it reflects a meticulous attention to security. Li nodded, acknowledging that this Tinghai Security Company is not merely a name without substance. Unless, of course, this is just a personal habit.
Ordinary people are not unfamiliar with such close protection bodyguards, as many celebrities are equipped with private bodyguards of this kind. The primary purpose is to protect celebrities from harassment by paparazzi and fervent fans. Based on the two bodyguards observed earlier, one appears to be merely a decorative figure, while the other possesses some skills. Listening to the security personnel, it seems there is a mix of genuine expertise and pretenders.
Miss Zhou is a fragrance enthusiast who particularly enjoys perfumes from various countries. She is also the host of a weekly fragrance appreciation program on television. It is rumored that as long as a perfume costs over 500 yuan per milliliter, she can identify the brand with just one whiff
Li nodded: "Yes!"
Li Qi asked in surprise: "There are still celebrities."
The Jin Zun Villa Community is truly a high-end affluent area, equipped with a total of thirty-six security personnel. However, currently, there are only twenty security guards. Among them, eighteen reside within the villa community. The residents are quite enthusiastic about Li Qi. They are all veterans and began to chat about their military experiences. Li Qi's knowledge of the Chinese military is limited to film and television portrayals, yet he managed to engage in conversation without missing a beat.

"Not only are there celebrities, but also young masters and socialites," Captain Lin said. "I see this is your first time coming to listen to the sea, isn't it?"
Li Qi was about to leave the security company when a car stopped in front of the company. Two men in conservative black suits and sunglasses got out of the car. One man scanned the surroundings cautiously while the other opened the car door. A young woman wearing a hat stepped out of the car. The woman wore sunglasses and a hat, making her face difficult to discern. However, Li Qi almost instantly deduced the basic information about this woman
Legendary figures
Li Qi stepped aside, and the man flanked the woman from both the front and the back. The elevator, which went directly to the seventh floor and above, opened, and a woman in plain clothes was waiting at the elevator entrance. The three entered the elevator, and the plainclothes woman also entered, closing the elevator doors before pressing the button for the floor.
Captain Lin was very pleased with Li Qi's response: "Eating is Young Master Zhao's forte, the foremost gourmet of Listening to the Sea. He is the honorary chef of the Listening to the Sea Grand Restaurant, has appeared on culinary television, and is extremely discerning about food. It is said that Young Master Zhao can distinguish between chicken from the 30th day and chicken from the 31st day, as well as the books associated with them."
The term "Thief Hero"? Li Qi indeed knows this title; the Thief Hero is not a legend, but a real person. The IS Special Operations Department has even established a file for this individual. Compared to the eight famous figures, the Thief Hero is quite remarkable. It is rumored that the Thief Hero specializes in stealing valuable items from wealthy families and then selling these items. The proceeds from these sales are mostly donated to charitable organizations, primarily domestic and international children's welfare institutions. The United Nations Children's Fund has publicly expressed gratitude to an anonymous donor, who has at least helped eighty-nine children regain their sight. However, what is puzzling is that this person never shows their face, and no one knows their identity. The term "Thief Hero" is merely a general term used in the community. Intelligence suggests that the so-called Thief Hero is composed of at least three individuals. This is because a certain American tycoon’s private museum has also been visited by the Thief Hero.
Piao is Master Sun. He spends almost all his time on women. He is very generous to women and never stingy. He once proposed love by covering the street with roses, becoming a well-known figure in the community that year. Of course, this object of his affection was dumped by him a week later
Captain Lin is a man in his forties with a very amiable temperament. After reviewing the personnel dispatch order with the official seal, he made a phone call to confirm. He then gathered everyone to welcome the new colleague
