Chapter 143 is Onion
Jimmy said in a relaxed tone, "Don't worry, Brother Jian, I've already prepared Brother Kun's share, and yours too, I've exchanged them for old bills. By the way, Brother Jian, do you like the lottery or want to try your luck in Macau?"
The lottery ticket was naturally prepared for Li Jian to win a prize.
Going to Macau is the same; you can launder your money in the casino and then it becomes legal.
Li Jian pinched Ah Fen's earlobe and rubbed it, saying, "Don't rush, keep the money with you for now. I'll ask you for it if I need it. I'm afraid the Independent Commission Against Corruption will call me in for tea if I have too much cash."
Li Jian is not short of money.
If they wanted to spend money, they still had tens of millions lying around at home.
It only cost 2500 million to use the US military satellite twice.
He also planned to have Jimmy launder the remaining money, as he was always a little nervous about keeping it at home.
Jimmy confidently replied, "I'll do whatever Brother Jian says. I'll keep the money for you. Whenever you need it, just give me a call, and I'll be there!"
"Alright, no need to pledge your loyalty. I trust you. By the way, if you encounter any difficulties during this time, let me know immediately."
After saying that, Li Jian hung up the phone.
Jimmy on the other end of the phone was quite confused.
He couldn't imagine what other difficulties there might be, since he had already gotten through customs.
After patting Afen's face, Li Jian got dressed and went out.
During the time Ali was away, Li Jian stayed at Ali's house.
Ah-Fen and her son said they felt traumatized living at home, so they moved here.
However, Li Jian is a gentleman, and he has his own bedroom, so he did not overstep any boundaries.
Li Jian hurriedly left home, preparing to go to Li Jiawen's house.
Come downstairs.
Shuangdao Turkey's offal noodle stall has opened.
"Sister Turkey, two servings of char siu rice, please."
Shuang Dao Turkey is not only good at making offal noodles, but also char siu rice.
When Double-Knife Turkey saw Li Jian, he flashed a mouthful of buck teeth: "Li sir, you're here again. I'll make it for you right away!"
The last time they arrested Ah Fen's husband, they made quite a scene. The slum dwellers love a good show, and that's how Li Jian's identity as a policeman was exposed.
Fortunately, Li Jian didn't intend to hide it. Anyone who pays a little attention to the Hong Kong Island police would know that Li Jian is a policeman.
The diners behind them complained bitterly: "What's going on? We were here first, why should we get served first!"
Double-Knife Turkey roared, "If you don't want to eat, then leave! Inspector Li is the nemesis of crime. Don't you read the newspapers? You're all able to eat offal noodles here because of Inspector Li and other officers who are carrying the burden!"
Some diners recognized Li Jian and whispered among themselves, "It's him! Li Jian, the rising star of the Hong Kong Police Force, he's really good at catching thieves!"
“I remember now, he was the one who solved the case of the woman who appeared to be dead in a roast meat shop in Sham Shui Po a few days ago. She was poisoned by fried pork chops. It was so scary.”
"And that murderer from the rainy night, he was the one who caught him!"
"So sharp! Hey, Double-Knife Turkey, put the officer's money on my tab!"
Having a lot of fame has its advantages; Li Jian also got to experience what it's like to be a celebrity.
Li Jian clasped his hands in thanks, saying, "Thank you all for your kindness, but it's our duty as police officers to catch thieves and solve cases. It's nothing special. I'll pay for it myself, so I won't let you villagers spend any more money. Thank you, thank you!"
Double-knife Turkey handed the packaged char siu rice to Li Jian, and also gave him a box of pissing beef balls.
"Li sir, this is my latest dish, the Bursting Boiling Beef Balls. I'm offering it to you for a free try. Please feel free to offer your criticisms and suggestions!"
Li Jian thanked him, picked up the packaged takeout, and left.
I haven't been to Li Jiawen's place for a long time.
Li Jian felt that they should not show favoritism.
He had at least promised Gao Zongyang that he would take good care of his wife.
A person without integrity cannot stand!
We arrived at Victoria One residential complex.
"Jian? Why didn't you call before you came?"
Li Jiawen opened the door and saw Li Jian standing outside, and said happily.
Li Jian showed the bento box in his hand and said, "Ta-da! I just happened to be passing by and happened to buy a char siu rice. The stall owner happens to recognize me, and coincidentally, he recently developed a new dish, so I brought it over to you."
It's still warm, you should try it!
Li Jiawen scolded, "You're wasting money again. Didn't I tell you that your sister-in-law has everything here? Whatever you want to eat, your sister-in-law will cook it for you. You should save your salary to get married."
Kao Tsung-yang was injured in the line of duty, and all his hospital expenses were covered by the police station.
Furthermore, in recognition of her heroic work, the Hong Kong Island Police Department allocated a sum of money to Li Jiawen as a form of consolation.
In addition, Gao Zongyang is still alive, and his salary, bonuses, overtime pay and various allowances are being paid normally. Li Jiawen can now be said to be receiving double the salary, and she can live very well even if she doesn't go to work.
As Gao Zongyang's primary guardian.
Li Jiawen has full authority over Gao Zongyang's assets.
If it weren't for a few windfalls, Li Jian wouldn't be as rich as others.
Li Jian laughed and said, "It won't cost much. Besides, I promised Inspector Gao that I would take good care of your wife."
Li Jiawen rolled her eyes at him.
It would have been better if he hadn't said it; the way he said it just felt a bit awkward.
Li Jiawen said, "Don't mention that beast again. I feel disgusted just hearing his name!"
Li Jian said righteously, "Sister-in-law, you can't say that. No matter how much of a beast Gao Sir is, he is still your husband in name only. If you're going to put on an act, you have to go all the way."
"Besides bringing food to my sister-in-law, I also wanted to go with you to the hospital to visit Inspector Gao."
"What? To the hospital?"
Li Jiawen seemed to have heard a joke.
Li Jian asked in surprise, "You haven't been to the hospital for so long, have you?"
Li Jiawen remained silent, which was tantamount to her acquiescence.
Li Jian quickly tried to defend Li Jiawen: "Sister-in-law, I understand that you are worried about Officer Gao and can't bear to look at him. But for now, we still need to put on a show, otherwise we might get gossiped about."
"I'll just focus on doing my job well and I'm not afraid of what others will say!" Li Jiawen said, glancing at Li Jian.
Li Jian said somewhat guiltily, "If you're upright, you have nothing to fear. But there's another saying: 'Three men can make a tiger, and many mouths can melt metal.' There's no better time than today. Let's go see Inspector Gao today, and you can vent your anger, sister-in-law."
"I feel like throwing up just looking at him, how can he vent his anger?"
Li Jiawen truly loathed Gao Zongyang, and even though he was currently unable to move, she didn't want to see him.
Li Jian blinked and smiled, "Sister-in-law, have you read the legendary female knight-errant Bai Su?"
This is a story about Wesley falling into a coma after being poisoned, and his wife, Bai Su, fighting the villains alone. (Interested readers can read it themselves.)
Li Jiawen shook her head.
Li Jian coughed lightly, "It's okay if you haven't seen it before, sister-in-law, let's eat first, it'll get cold soon."
Li Jiawen didn't think much of it and opened the lunchbox.
A bowl of char siu rice with distinctly separate pork and salt appeared before me.
The glistening, plump grains of white rice are paired with a soft-boiled egg and a row of neatly sliced, tempting char siu, creating an irresistible aroma.
"What a beautiful char siu rice! It could be a magazine cover."
Holding the lunchbox, Li Jiawen hesitated to eat. Suddenly, she felt a tear roll down her cheek. "Strange, why am I crying?"
Li Jian glanced at it and pointed to a string of carved patterns in the lunchbox, saying, "It's onions."
