Chapter 302 The credit goes to Zhang Haowen
Buddhism emphasizes liberation from the cycle of reincarnation, while Taoism emphasizes refining and allowing ghosts to be reborn as humans.
However, Li Jian knows neither the Taoist concept of salvation nor the Buddhist concept of transcendence.
"Never mind, I'll ask Leon later."
Li Jian casually tossed the plastic wrap into the drawer.
I always feel uneasy carrying this old ghost with me all the time.
noon.
Li Jian invited Xi Gui out for dinner.
"Little devil!"
Li Jian shouted, startling Xi Gui, who had just entered the restaurant.
The young man was fully armed, wearing a baseball cap, a mask, and sunglasses. He was completely covered up, looking like a character who had just stepped out of a spy movie.
He furtively sat down in a corner of the coffee shop, looked around, and then lowered his voice to say, "Boss, you don't need to invite me to such a public place, do you? If someone recognizes me, my life will be in danger."
Li Jian sat opposite him, holding a cup of coffee, a slight smile playing on his lips, his tone tinged with a hint of teasing: "Little devil, your outfit is way too outrageous! Anyone who didn't know better would think you were here to rob a bank."
Xi Gui took off his sunglasses, revealing a pair of wary eyes, and said in a low voice, "Boss, you don't know, things have been tense lately, I can't afford to be careless."
Li Jian said, "I chose this upscale restaurant because I was thinking about your safety. Don't worry, your colleagues are lucky if they can afford to eat at a street stall, they wouldn't have the money to come here."
“That makes sense.” Little Ghost usually eats boxed lunches with Fatty.
Li Jian asked, "How have you been lately? Any news about Johnny Wang?"
The little devil shook his head and said, "Johnny Wang only does big business and only contacts acquaintances. He is a cautious person, and it is impossible for outsiders to get in."
Li Jian said, "There's a guy in the underworld named Dafei. Keep an eye on things for me."
The younger man asked, "Which Big Fei? The one from Hung Hing?"
Li Jian gave him a flick on the forehead in an annoyed tone: "Are you out of your mind? I'm handling serious cases, not anti-gang operations!"
Sai-Kui scratched his head and said, "It's not the Hung Hing guy, it's Big Fei from Beacon Hill. I know him well, he's a drug dealer, and he also runs a Moli Financial Investment Company, which he does part-time as a loan shark. By the way, why are we keeping an eye on such a small fry?"
Li Jian flicked Xi Gui (Xie Tingfeng) on the forehead again: "Just keep an eye on him, why are you asking so many questions? Are you the boss or am I the boss?"
"The one who pays is the boss." Little Ghost didn't dare to resist.
Li Jian pulled a bulging brown paper bag from behind his back and casually handed it to Xi Gui, saying in a relaxed tone, "Here's some money. Take it and use it first. Let me know if you need more."
The little devil took the brown paper bag, weighed it in his hand, and his eyes immediately lit up. His tone was filled with excitement: "Boss, you're really too kind! Don't worry, I'll definitely handle this perfectly for you!"
He quickly stuffed the brown paper bag into his pocket, looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to them, and then lowered his voice to say, "Boss, I'll be going now. I'll contact you as soon as I have any news."
Li Jian nodded, his tone carrying a hint of warning: "Remember, be careful, don't let anyone target you."
Xi Gui patted his chest confidently, "Don't worry, I'm a professional!"
After he finished speaking, he put on his sunglasses, quickly left the coffee shop, and disappeared into the crowd like a gust of wind.
Li Jian watched his retreating figure, a slight smile playing on his lips. He thought to himself, "Money makes the world go round; that saying is absolutely true."
Xi Gui's father owed more than 80 yuan in high-interest loans. When the debt collectors couldn't find him, they kidnapped Xi Gui's sister and forced her to sell herself to pay off the debt.
Li Jian had Liang Kun speak with the debt collection agency to prevent his sister from selling herself for the time being.
However, Li Jian had no choice but to repay his debts.
As for paying off 80 for the little devil, don't be ridiculous.
The informant industry also depends on who you work with.
Xi Gui had only been in this line of work for a short time, but he had heard many stories about his predecessors.
There was a guy named Fei Yan who worked as an informant for a criminal investigation officer named Li Cangdong. He was exposed, stabbed dozens of times, and later became mentally ill, spending his days begging on the streets.
The little devil even bought him char siu buns.
Not out of sympathy, but because he hoped that if he ever ended up in that situation, someone would buy him char siu bao (barbecued pork buns).
into the night.
An old parking lot in Mong Kok.
The old parking lot in Mong Kok looked particularly deserted.
The dim streetlights cast dappled shadows in the darkness, and the air was filled with a damp, musty smell, mixed with the odors of engine oil and rubber, creating a sense of oppression.
Although Mong Kok is a bustling area of Hong Kong Island, with towering skyscrapers and flashing neon lights, behind this glamorous facade lie many slums and dark corners.
The more prosperous a place is, the more likely it is to have dark alleys overflowing with sewage.
This is similar to how the capital city is often a gathering place for people from all walks of life.
Li Jian had already learned from Xi Gui that Da Fei and a few of his trusted underlings were going to a bar tonight, leaving only a handful of people in the parking lot.
"Jian, is the weaponry you mentioned here?"
Zhang Haowen peeked out from the shadows and surveyed the pitch-black parking lot, only to find that she couldn't see anything.
Instead of calling on members of the Major Crimes Unit, Li Jian gave the credit to Zhang Haowen.
His concern was that he had risen too quickly, completing a three-level jump in just over a year—a speed that was faster than riding a rocket.
Sometimes, rising too fast isn't necessarily a good thing.
Especially for someone like him who has no powerful connections.
Now that his experience pool was full, Li Jian, adhering to the principle of not wasting it, naturally had to consider the people around him.
After much thought, Zhang Haowen is the most suitable candidate.
She is good-looking and gentle.
At least this woman's heart has been given to him, and her body has been branded with his mark.
Cheung Ho-man is currently a police sergeant. If she can crack an arms smuggling case this time, she has a great chance of being promoted to probationary inspector.
Li Jian patted Zhang Haowen on the back, "Okay, don't be so tense, relax a bit, they're just a few small fry."
Zhang Haowen looked at the guard post at the entrance of the parking lot, where there were many figures inside, and swallowed hard. She said, "Ah Jian, I think there are at least five guards here. There are only two of us. Isn't it too risky?"
I think we should report to our superiors and request support from the Flying Tigers.
"Are you out of your mind?!"
Li Jian reached out and touched Zhang Haowen's forehead. Zhang Haowen ignored him. Li Jian said, "There's a saying, 'Make a fortune quietly,' do you understand?"
Zhang Haowen grabbed Li Jian's rough hand and rubbed it against her cheek: "I understand the reasoning, but it's too dangerous. I'd rather not get a promotion or a raise than have you in any danger."
