Chapter 1: Return to Hong Kong

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

Shi Zhijian glanced over; the newsboy's bag was stuffed with seven or eight types of newspapers, the most prominent being the Ming Pao and the Sing Tao Daily

Giggling, Bao'er was lifted high by Shi Zhijian against the sun

Shi Zhijian left the house, and the sounds behind him gradually faded away

"Is being rich really that impressive? Are you rushing to be reincarnated in a car? How dare you! If you injure my daughter, I will fight you to the death!" Shi Yufeng stood in the middle of the road, one hand on her hip and the other pointing, continuing to curse at the car.

Since we are going to play, let’s play to the death! Jiang Kun revealed a hint of malice on his face, saying, I heard that he borrowed money from Jin Yabing at high interest in order to become a police officer, so let’s inform Jin Yabing that he has been fired and can no longer be a cop!

Moreover

What resignation? It was exposed by me

As soon as Shi Zhijian got into the car, a newspaper boy cleverly ran over and said, "Sir, would you like to buy a newspaper? You can read it while sitting in the car!"

"Well, I promise you, if I eat this candy, I will be very, very happy!" Shi Zhijian said as he picked up Bao'er in his arms, "But before I get happy, I need to lift Meibao high up!"

What should be done, how should Meibao comfort her uncle

Shixiawei, the foremost master of street cursing

Since the legitimate path is blocked, let us explore whether there are any opportunities for wealth through unconventional means

Shi Zhijian smiled, looking at Bao'er’s innocent and pure eyes, feeling a warmth in his heart. "Thank you, Uncle Shi, for the beautiful gift! What should I do? Since Meibao has given me such a precious gift, how should I express my gratitude to you?"

To speak frankly, Shi Zhijian does not know how he came into this world. In his previous life, although he was an orphan, he achieved great success in his career. However, in this life, he lives in a poor family, having lost his parents at a young age, and has always relied on his sister for companionship.

Shi Yufeng heard this and turned to shout at the person: "You lame-headed fool! Your mother is the real cripple! Your whole family are all cripples!"

The 1960s in Hong Kong were a time of abundant wealth, giving rise to countless tycoons and magnates

Shi Zhijian waved to call for a rickshaw, but was stopped by Shi Yufeng, who said that if they could save some money, they should save it.

That's good! Your temperament is too weak. I said before that you are not suited to be a cop, and now it has proven true!" Shi Yufeng exclaimed, "But you don't need to worry. Just rest at home for a few days. I will ask Da Yanling and Da Koujiu to introduce you to a few job opportunities— in Hong Kong, as long as you have hands and feet, you will never go hungry!

What to do

I have a way, Meibao is very clever. "Baobao raised her little face, "Uncle, stretch out your hand.

How foolish, only someone with a muddled mind would oppose Brother Kun

However, Bao'er was very happy, sitting in the carriage and clapping her small hands, her big eyes looking around curiously, as if everything she saw was novel, because she usually had no opportunity to ride in a rickshaw

The sun hung in the sky, and the weather in October remained hot. Shi Zhijian was dressed in a white tank top and black long pants, with his hair sticking to his left forehead, covering the stitched wound.

The little girl is about five or six years old, lively and adorable, with a pair of big, sparkling eyes and an extremely delicate face, truly a beauty in the making, though she appears slightly pale and thin

Shi Zhijian turned over the newspaper, and what caught his eye was the activity most favored by the people of Hong Kong—horse racing

That person was scolded severely, yet did not dare to retort

Shi Zhijian crouched down and pinched Bao'er’s face, "Mom said I should rest at home, Meibao, from now on, Uncle can stay at home to help you with your homework!"

The newsboy, with his ink-stained little hands, took out a newspaper and handed it to Shi Zhijian

Additionally, the Hong Kong British government is preparing to renovate the maximum security prison located at 99 East Bay Road, Stanley, Hong Kong Island, and is currently inviting bids from well-established construction firms

Shi Zhijian handed over the neatly folded green police uniform, along with the police baton, to the warehouse manager all at once

A sedan came to a sudden stop by the roadside, and a head poked out of the window. It was a man with a sullen expression. He glanced at Shi Yufeng, then looked at Shi Zhijian, and then spat on the ground ominously, telling the driver: "Drive!"

Shi Yufeng followed behind, carrying Bao'er’s small backpack, supporting her left leg, and keeping pace with one leg higher and the other lower

A voice came from behind: "Is he the one who got fired, Shi Zhijian?"

Dong Chuan Wang

It seems that he is here to resign today

Two voices sounded simultaneously

"If it's not him, then who could it be? If he has offended Brother Kun, it would be strange for him to still remain in the police force" The administrator spoke with a tone of disdain

However, Shi Zhijian did not heed her advice and still called for two cars

Countless heroes and numerous tyrants have emerged

For others, this is a difficult problem, but for Shi Zhijian, it is easily resolved

Shi Zhijian then extended his hand

Shi Yufeng could see clearly, and once again felt a pang of regret; five cents was enough to buy a large radish

"Uncle!"

The woman is dressed in a floral short shirt, paired with loose, coarse fabric trousers, and has a cigarette dangling from her mouth, exuding a bold demeanor between her brows

The old gives way to the new

You will know soon.

Shi Yufeng shouted at the back of the car: "What the hell! How do you drive? Are you blind?!"

Shi Zhijian smiled at the other party and turned to leave

What a gambling king

The driver restarted the car and drove towards the police station, asking, "Brother Kun, is that guy Shi Zhijian?"

The rickshaw rattled along the asphalt road as Shi Zhijian unfolded the newspaper to take a look

Shi Zhijian nodded, taking the lead in carrying Bao'er as he walked outside

"Mom picked me up from school and came here to see you by the way," the little girl Jiang Meibao blinked her innocent big eyes, gazing at Shi Zhijian

Not long ago, eighteen-year-old Shi Zhijian borrowed money to become a military police officer, thinking it would improve his life. However, due to a woman, he offended the military police chief Jiang Kun, who framed him and directly expelled him from the police force.

The tram rings with a chime, competing with the rickshaws for business

......

Tuen Mun Police Station

Three individuals exited the police station, and the main road was bustling with people coming and going, with some setting up stalls for business and others specializing in haircuts

"Uncle, if you are sad, just eat this candy. This candy is soft and sweet, and it tastes really good!" Bao'er said in a babyish voice.

On the road, rickshaws are running back and forth, and the drivers are shouting: "Excuse me! Let me pass!"

The current police may appear quite imposing, but Shi Zhijian knows that these are merely autumn grasshoppers that will not be able to jump for many days; soon the "Independent Commission Against Corruption" will be established

Someone nearby saw this and couldn't help but shake their head: "She looks quite beautiful, but unfortunately, she is a cripple!"

While Shi Zhijian was lost in thought, suddenly, "beep beep beep," a black Beetle car came rushing from the front, and Shi Zhijian hurriedly held Bao'er and dodged to the side

The method of publishing "government tenders" in English newspapers directly excludes many Hong Kong residents; seeking financial opportunities from the government is, in a word, difficult

Shi Zhijian turned his head to look and saw two people standing at the corner of the wall outside the police station, a woman holding a girl by the hand

Mr. Huo

1967

Shi Zhijian was already aware that the car from earlier belonged to Jiang Kun, but he did not inform his sister, Shi Yufeng. After confirming that they were unharmed, he finally breathed a sigh of relief

Can Shi Zhijian not carve out a space for himself?

Sister, Meibao, how did you come here

However, I am still very angry! Jiang Kun glanced at the rearview mirror, where Shi Zhijian was comforting Shi Yufeng and her daughter, asking if they were scared. "How dare a useless person like him oppose me? Where will I put my face in the future?"

A trip from the Tuen Mun Police Station to the bus station in Shek Kip Mei, Kowloon, costs HKD 1.80. Two tickets would amount to nearly HKD 4.00. Then, transferring to another bus costs an additional HKD 3.00, and taking a rickshaw after getting off the bus will also cost HKD 3.00. In total, it comes to nearly HKD 10.00, which makes Shi Yufeng feel quite pained. She touches the money in her waist pouch, calculating how to save on her meals.

A more sophisticated version is this English edition of the "Tiger Report," which primarily targets the upper echelons of Hong Kong's high society, individuals who can understand English and are concerned with the political and economic affairs of Hong Kong. The British also enjoy using this type of newspaper to conduct government tenders and infrastructure project announcements.

In a period of great transformation

In this era, if one cannot become a police officer, what else can one do

... ...

Shi Yufeng, nicknamed "Lame Phoenix"

Through the iron window, the corpulent warehouse manager carefully inspected the police cap, uniform, belt, and baton that Shi Zhijian had removed, before finally looking up and coldly stating: "You may leave now"

If it is not him, who else could it be

Bao'er placed her small hand on his hand, then released it, and a green mint candy fell into the palm of his hand

It doesn't matter, anyway, I am not particularly fond of being a police officer

"Ajian, are you alright?" Shi Yufeng took the cigarette from her mouth, extinguished it against the wall, and put the remaining half into the cigarette case

Yes, it was exposed by you, Brother Kun

Is there a "Tiger Report"?

Shi Zhijian took the newspaper and placed five cents into the newspaper boy's hand

What a pity, I heard he has only been on the job for one month

Hong Kong in the 1960s

Baor laughed and said: "I really like you accompanying me to do homework, but mom said you would be very sad if you couldn't become a police officer"

Shi Zhijian knew at a glance that there was no hope, as the four words "strong strength" knocked him down to the ground

Upon examining the content more closely, suddenly, my eyes lit up

Women dressed in qipaos, with wavy hair and sprinkled with floral perfume, sway on the streets, creating a beautiful scene

Ajian

"Alright, let's go!" Seeing her brother like this, Shi Yufeng felt relieved. As noon approached, she needed to hurry back to prepare lunch, as she also had to go to work in the afternoon

"Meibao does not need to thank; Meibao only hopes that Uncle Xiao will be happy."

What are you going to do, Kun Ge?

You understand, that's good, go take care of it right away! Remember, it must be fast! I want to see this failure completely ruined by me! Hehe!" Jiang Kun had a sinister smile on his face

In this era, many people in Hong Kong are not very literate, which is why many newspapers prefer to serialize easily understandable cartoons. Only slightly more upscale newspapers feature large editorial articles or serialized martial arts novels

I understand! Jin Yabing is not to be trifled with; if you don't have money, you might as well risk your life!

Shi Zhijian glanced at the newspaper, which featured numerous opportunities for wealth. For instance, the Hong Kong British government is preparing to open eight new bus routes in Yau Ma Tei, Tsim Sha Tsui, and Mong Kok, and is currently inviting tenders from well-established transportation companies.

Li Chaoren

As for the account with Jiang Kun, it will eventually be settled
