Chapter Nine, Playing Tricks and Deception, A Flurry of Shenanigans

... ...

Yuen Long belongs to the New Territories, which is the countryside of this era, with little benefit to be gained

Where to move? Reilo's current territory is Tsim Sha Tsui, one of the most lucrative areas in all of Hong Kong. He would never be willing to relocate, not even if it meant death.

Before the loud and resounding swing of the axe could be heard, a gun was pointed at his forehead, and a cold voice said: "Go ahead and move! Do you believe I will blow your head off with a single shot?"

Chen Xigou remained silent

Uh? "Dazai Xiongyi was taken aback, then burst into laughter, 'I suppose you have some sense! Although I am quite angry, if you can really come up with twenty thousand..."

No, I still need to follow Liu Fu's lead! Although he is retired, his connections remain!" Lei Luo recited, "Prepare a large golden peach for me tomorrow; I want to celebrate Inspector Liu's birthday in advance!

What Shi Zhijian wants is exactly this kind of reaction from Lei Luo. Do not be deceived by Lei Luo's current brotherly demeanor towards you; Shi Zhijian is well aware of who he is. Greedy for five hundred million, he can disregard even his closest kin for the sake of profit

Before Da Shengxiong could finish speaking, Shi Zhijian interrupted: "Ten thousand is too little, it should be at least twenty thousand!"

... ...

Just as the words were spoken, Da Shengxiong had already brought his subordinates to encircle from both sides

The lard paste replied that they are working hard to gather funds, but it is heard that Yan Xiong's side is also making preparations

This scoundrel Shi Zhijian dares to play tricks on me, he must be tired of living

"What are you going to do? A Jian, I am here to assist you!" Sha Qiang called for a rickshaw, and upon seeing that Shi Zhijian was in trouble, instead of fleeing himself, he picked up a long bench from a roadside stall and ran over.

As Chen Xijiu parked the car and got out, Lei Luo leaned back in the car seat and let out a deep sigh, feeling unsettled by Shi Zhijian's words.

I challenge, here comes another one who is not afraid of death!" He spat loudly on the ground.

Being assigned jurisdiction here is equivalent to being relegated to the frontier, and he, Lei Luo, is currently full of vigor and enthusiasm, how could he possibly believe in the deceased father of Shi Zhijian

Oh no, it's a loud male!

Alright, Brother Luo

Leilo was playing with a gold-embossed business card when he suddenly said, "Stop the car!" He then flicked the business card to Chen Xijiu and instructed, "Go, deliver my business card to that Shi Zhijian and just say you found it in the car!"

If it were an ordinary person, they would certainly buy a car and a house, and then indulge in a lavish lifestyle like a newly rich person, enjoying good food and drink.

Leilodao: "Have we gathered enough money for the lard paste? Whether I can continue to stay in Tsim Sha Tsui this time depends on whether those big shots are willing to spend!"

A business card, after all, one should not be too stingy!

Ultimately, Chief Inspector Yan Xiong, relying on his good background, high qualifications, and ability to speak English and curry favor with his foreign superiors, prepared to kick out Lei Luo and monopolize the areas of Yau Ma Tei, Tsim Sha Tsui, and Mong Kok.

Shi Zhijian glanced at Lei Luo's complexion, either intentionally or unintentionally, and then said: "Detective Lei, there is something I am unsure whether I should say or not"

Leilo originally wanted to talk a bit more with Shi Zhijian, but Shi Zhijian's so-called "ghost prophecy" completely ruined his mood. He was too lazy to say much more to Shi Zhijian and directly had Chen Xijiu drive over, getting into the black Ford sedan with the license plate "555".

What? Lei Luo is about to explode with anger, "Is your father really capable or not? He just keeps talking nonsense!"

Shi Zhijian's perceptiveness greatly appeals to Lei Luo, and coupled with Shi Zhijian's refined discourse, his occasional astonishing remarks regarding Hong Kong's political and economic landscape further impress Lei Luo

I will kill your mother!" He shouted angrily, directly drawing the axe that was tucked at his waist, intending to chop down that bastard Shi Zhijian!

It can be said that during his peak, Liu Fu had the power to control everything.

In fact, Leilo has always been his idol. Hailing from Chaozhou and coming from humble beginnings, he has managed to attain the position of a detective chief and this year has become a strong competitor to the renowned chief detective Yan Xiong. This alone is sufficiently inspirational

If I remember correctly, it seems to be in the past few days

Inspector Lee Lok

Shi Zhijian despises such practices; living off past gains is not his style. Moreover, 300,000 is merely a small amount, insignificant in the eyes of many true tycoons and wealthy individuals. Therefore, the most urgent task now is to find new investment projects to generate wealth and earn more money

The two young men beside him also looked astonished, and then they all burst into laughter, looking at Shi Zhijian as if he were a fool

Leiluo couldn't help but smile, "Your words make me feel at ease"

Yan Xiong? This old fox only knows how to fawn over those foreigners, truly a disgrace to the people of Chaozhou

Therefore, by the time of parting at the racetrack, Shi Zhijian had already formed a close relationship with Inspector Lei Luo

Shi Zhijian turned his head to look, just as Da Shengxiong was also looking in his direction

"How is it? You little rascal, you stole my gold watch. How do you propose we settle this account?"

Chen Xijiu glanced at the rearview mirror without saying a word

Then a burly man appeared, accompanied by two henchmen, blocking the exit of the racetrack and inspecting those who came out

If even the likes of stray dogs and cats can ask for his business card, then it is truly too cheap

Shi Zhijian said earnestly: "The opportunity is given to you, seize it; otherwise, the price may increase later!"

Loud and proud, he laughed until his stomach hurt, pointing at Shi Zhijian's nose: "What did you say? You stole my Rolex, and I came to collect the debt, yet you want me to pay you an additional 20,000?"

Before Da Shengxiong could finish speaking, Shi Zhijian interrupted him again, "I apologize, but you are mistaken once more—when I mentioned twenty thousand, I was referring to what you owe me, not what I owe you!"

Haha, interesting!" exclaimed the man with a loud and hearty laugh, "My watch cost a total of 10,000 yuan...

However

However, my father also said that this noble person is likely to encounter a calamity soon

My deceased father mentioned that the territory of that noble person is likely to be moved soon

How to calculate? You draw a line, and I will accompany you to the end

After venting his grievances, Leiluo took out a business card from his pocket

Who is he

Run, why don't you run! If you can escape today, I, Da Sheng Xiong, will take your surname!" Da Sheng Xiong cornered Shi Zhi Jian with his subordinates.

Shi Zhijian looked at the exasperated Lei Luo, and memories of the past life flooded his mind, recalling the "The Legend of Lei Luo, the Five Hundred Million Detective" that he had watched. This year, the four great detectives were in a grand showdown, especially the fierce competition between Yan Xiong and Lei Luo, to see who would be the top detective among them.

My deceased father said that I would encounter a benefactor today, and now it seems that the benefactor must be you, Inspector Lei!

Yuen Long

Just as Shi Zhijian was plotting, he heard a commotion around him: "Take a good look, don't let that kid escape!"

"Uh, what do you mean by that?" Lei Luo became alert

Shi Zhijian instructed Sha Qiang to put down the long bench first, then turned to Da Shengxiong and asked, "What do you want?"

As their gazes met, the imposing figure was momentarily taken aback, then immediately shouted: "You street punk, where do you think you're running? You stole my gold watch, and I will make you pay for it!"

Shi Zhijian broke up with Lei Luo, instructing Sha Qiang to first call for a rickshaw, while he contemplated how to utilize the money deposited in the bank.

Uh? Dàshēng Xióng was once again taken aback, doubting whether he had heard incorrectly

Chen Xijiu did not understand why Lei Luo would do this, but he did not speak up to ask. He was always meticulous in his work, especially aware that one should ask what needs to be asked, and remain silent on what should not be questioned

Liu Fu is the most senior figure among the detectives in the Hua Investigation Bureau, possessing extensive connections. It was Liu Fu who initially supported Yan Xiong, and Lei Luo was also brought up by Liu Fu.

We are all friends now, so feel free to speak your mind! Lei Luo appeared very magnanimous

Once on the vehicle, Leiluo was still seething with anger

Shi Zhijian had previously asked Lei Luo for a business card. It was not that Lei Luo did not have it on him, but rather that he had it on him yet was unwilling to give it.

Shi Zhijian smiled and said, "Whether you believe it or not, I actually hope that my father is wrong. How could Inspector Lei, so wise and powerful, possibly be in decline?"

Although Leiluo does not quite believe in ghosts and deities, it is true that he just won money at the racetrack; now that Shizhi Jian's deadbeat father is saying he is going to have bad luck, it is prudent to first befriend this person

Chen Xijiu did not dare to ask further, pressed the horn, and then started the car
