Hong Kong Storm: The King of Jobs

Chapter 695, Section 285: Son-in-Law
(Thanks to the great Linjiangxian for the support! Thank you so much! Ah Xian will dance for you! La la la!)

A spectacular start, but a hasty end.

To say he wasn't discouraged would be an act. A-zai, after getting into the car, slammed his fist on the steering wheel to vent his frustration.

This anger came quickly and went quickly. He leaned back in his seat, took out a cigarette case from his pocket, put a cigarette in his mouth, took out the lighter, and lit the cigarette.

He took a drag, exhaled a puff of smoke, rolled down the car window, and closed his eyes to rest.

Cases of this magnitude are rare, occurring only a handful of times a year. If you manage to find the gold, even if you don't catch the culprit, but merely disrupt the transaction and seize the goods, it will still add a significant chapter to your resume.

Your career path will be much smoother from now on!

The bald eagle vanished without a trace amidst the inescapable net; was there a traitor among the ranks?!
"Ta-da..."

A-zai, who was deep in thought, was pulled back by the sound of knocking on the car window. He opened his eyes and found Bai Fengxian standing outside the car.

Bai Fengxian didn't change her clothes; she was still wearing that expensive Valentino suit, which looked quite alluring under the streetlights.

The saying "Buddha relies on gold plating, and people rely on clothes" is absolutely true. Even Bai Fengxian, this tomboy, looks beautiful in an expensive suit.

"Please come in!"

A-zai smiled, opened the passenger door, and let Bai Fengxian get in.

"These high heels are pretty, but they don't fit properly. They've rubbed my heels raw!"

Bai Fengxian plopped down in the passenger seat, took off her high heels as soon as she got in, threw them on the dashboard, and kept complaining.

Beauty comes at a price: physical pain.

"None of the uniforms in the Criminal Intelligence Division are reliable. They are all counterfeit goods bought by the logistics team from Tung Choi Street and Sneaker Street. They only fly to Zu's house to buy discounted items when they can't avoid them."

"It would be a miracle if it fit perfectly."

A-zai graduated from Wong Chuk Hang and first went to the logistics team. He stayed in the logistics team for three months before patrolling the streets for a year. After that, he completed the CID course and joined the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB) under the guidance of Kwok Kwok-ho.

He knew the logistics team's tricks perfectly well. The designer clothes and suits they were monitoring were only one part real and nine parts fake. They would only bring out the real stuff for key missions and cases.

If any of the officers in the logistics team takes a fancy to a designer garment, they will buy it, adding an extra task to the logbook. A month later, they will report it as damaged.

Go to Tung Choi Street and buy a fake one, puncture it, tear it apart, and then throw it, along with the receipt, into a cardboard box, put it in the warehouse, and burn it all at the end of the year.

But these designer clothes were very clean; they had only been on the books and hadn't even been washed.

These are high heels, made of top-quality lambskin. Even if the size is not right, wearing stockings would not cause your heels to chafe. It's obvious that the logistics team used fake shoes to fool people.

When Bai Fengxian was interning, she joined the Criminal Intelligence Department. Street patrol was a strict rule that no one could avoid. However, after patrolling the streets for a year, she returned to the Criminal Intelligence Department. Under the protection of her mentor, she began to rise steadily in rank.

She loved these shoes before she wore them and still loved them after wearing them, even though they had blistered her feet. But when she found out they were knock-offs, she immediately became unhappy.

Peach Blossom Girl's help did not make Bai Fengxian feel grateful. Over the years, she had used any means necessary to complete cases, and with her mentor's help, she had only been promoted to Senior Inspector, but had not taken the next step and was stuck at the level of Chief Inspector.

The master is getting old and will retire in a few years. The senior apprentice also needs to climb the ranks. Should he choose a disciple or his own son? Everyone knows what to do!

She needs to choose a new ship, a new ship that can take her on her journey.

Knowing his thoughts, the master stepped in to help, using old connections to get in touch with Guo Guohao and transfer him to the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB). He wanted to change course and try a new path. This time, the master went to great lengths, putting his years of friendship into it.

But Peach Blossom Girl can get the opportunities that she worked so hard for without having to compete for them.

The father paved the way, the family business donated money to the police station, and even when Shapison came to visit the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau, they remembered Peach Blossom Girl's name, stopped to chat for a few minutes, and casually invited Peach Blossom Girl's father to play golf.

The O-Team also really favored Peach Girl, wanting her to be their goddess detective. She was involved in every high-profile case.

Now paparazzi call Peach Blossom Girl by her nickname "O-Team Goddess Detective". Sometimes when Peach Blossom Girl goes to a tea restaurant, the owner won't charge her, only hoping to take a photo with her.

Women are creatures who love and hate each other. Seeing Peach Blossom Girl steal the spotlight, Bai Fengxian was extremely jealous, and when she herself came to her for help with the case, she felt her cheeks burning and felt utterly ashamed.

A-zai, sitting in the driver's seat, was unaware of the immense emotional turmoil Bai Fengxian was experiencing.

Even if he knew, he wouldn't care. Everyone suffers from internal strife, and everyone has greed, anger, and ignorance. Desire is the driving force for progress.

A-zai unbuckled his seatbelt, got out of the car, went to the trunk, took out an unmarked bag, sat back down, and placed the box on Bai Fengxian's lap.

What's going on?

"mischief?"

The bag was quite heavy, so Bai Fengxian didn't open it immediately. Instead, she looked at A-zai in the driver's seat, wanting an answer.

"This is a gift for you. When you're trying to woo a girl, you always need to give her a small gift! Open it and see if it suits you!"

As the night wore on, A-zai grew a little sleepy. After explaining to Bai Fengxian, he took out his cigarette case and lit another one for himself.

A small gift?!

Bai Fengxian has never received a gift. She attended a church-run girls' school when she was young, where even the flies were female, so she naturally had no chance to date.

Bai Fengxian knew about A-zai pursuing her and tacitly approved of it. A woman always needs to find a companion. After the New Year, she would be twenty-seven years old, which would make her an old spinster.

All her college classmates of the same age are married and have children, but she doesn't even have a boyfriend.

"The portion is very generous."

Bai Fengxian pursed her lips, then opened the bag and took out the box inside.

【Dior】

The white box has four gold-stamped English letters on it.

Bai Fengxian was also stunned when she saw the Dior logo. She often read fashion magazines and knew about these top fashion houses in Paris, and knew how much money those four English letters were worth.

She paused for a second, then opened the box and saw the burgundy high heels inside.

"This is the latest style this season. My sister picked it out for me in Australia. It cost me a month's salary. One pair of shoes cost over ten thousand yuan. It's outrageous!"

A-Zai still finds it outrageous that a pair of high heels could sell for tens of thousands of dollars, and that Sincere Department Store, Wing On Department Store, and Lane Crawford Department Store were all out of stock.

It will take at least fifteen days, because there are already thousands of pairs of orders ahead of us, and the factory at the Paris headquarters is working day and night to fulfill the orders from Hong Kong.

Even Bai Fengxian, who comes from a middle-class family, has never worn high heels that cost tens of thousands of yuan. Her most expensive high heels were only worth a little over a thousand yuan, and she felt bad about them for more than a month after buying them.

Ten thousand yuan!

If you exclude overtime pay and bonuses, it's equivalent to one and a half months' salary for her.

Bai Fengxian touched the latest Dior high heels, captivated by the delicate feel of the lambskin, but she quickly withdrew her hand as if she had touched a scorching hot iron plate.

Apart from my own father, no one has ever treated me so well or gone to such lengths for me.

If A-zai hadn't been sitting next to her, she would have pinched herself to see if she was dreaming.

"Give me something in return!"

"Do you like it? Or do you like it very much?"

Seeing that Bai Fengxian seemed a bit dazed, A-zai reached out and waved his hand in front of her to try and bring her back to her senses.

"The gift is too expensive! I can't repay it!"

Bai Fengxian's eyes were fixed on Dior's high heels, but she still hardened her heart and refused A-zai's gift.

Without any official status or recognition, I received such an expensive gift from A-Zai. If we fall out, it will be difficult to explain.

"No need to pay it back. What I value is you as a person. As long as you stay by my side, that's enough."

"Alright, it's getting late, I'll take you home."

"Peach Blossom Girl is taking the day off tomorrow, so you'll have to keep an eye on White Eagle. But you can sleep in a little longer, just be at the tracking team before 11 a.m. I can clock you in, but I'll need your ID card."

"I can cover for you over with Inspector Guo." A-zai closed the box, put it back in the bag, and placed it back on Bai Fengxian's lap. After everything was settled, he fastened his seatbelt and sent Bai Fengxian home.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Bai Fengxian tried to use the last bit of reason left in her mind to refuse, but the words stuck in her throat several times. These Dior high heels seemed to have cast a spell on her, throwing her into a state of utter confusion.

Having driven Bai Fengxian several times, A-zai knew where the tenement building where Bai Fengxian lived was, so he parked his car safely downstairs.

"Wake up! We're home. Go back to sleep when you get home!"

"However, I have a little life hack: when I get home, I don't take a shower. I just lie down on the bed, cover myself with the blanket, and sleep soundly until dawn."

A-zai got out of the car first, walked around to the door facing Bai Fengxian, and gentlemanly opened the door for her, offering his advice.

Now that she had decided to accept the gift, Bai Fengxian stopped being coy. She picked up her handbag and hugged A-zai, saying, "I am very grateful for your gift, but I am very confused right now and my mind is not clear."

Give me some time to think about our relationship.

This was the first time Bai Fengxian had hugged herself. Although the hug was just a formality, it was a good start.

A-zai maintained his polite smile and waited until Bai Fengxian left before speaking, "My behavior was somewhat impolite, please don't mind."

"Go upstairs and go to sleep. Sweet dreams."

Knowing that saying anything now would be pointless, Bai Fengxian nodded and prepared to leave.

"ID card! I'll clock you in tomorrow!"

Seeing that Bai Fengxian was about to leave, A-zai quickly stopped her and offered to help her clock in.

Bai Fengxian, who had already taken a step forward, smiled, quickly took out her ID card, and tossed it to A-zai: "Thanks! Here's a chance for you to show off."

A-zai caught the ID card that Bai Fengxian threw to him, nodded, and indicated that he would take care of everything.

Bai Fengxian hurried upstairs to the third floor, but instead of opening the door immediately, she stood by the window and looked at A-zai standing by the car.

She watched for a full minute, and only after A got into the car and turned to leave did she take out her apartment key and open the door.

The tenement building can be sold floor by floor. Bai Fengxian's father paid the down payment, and Bai Fengxian pays the monthly mortgage. In another two or three years, they will be able to pay it off.

The apartments in tenement buildings are all small, less than 400 square feet, but they still have a bedroom, a living room, a kitchen, a bathroom, and air conditioning, as well as a separate bathroom area.

The Hong Kong property market is still relatively strong. The less than 400-square-foot tenement building I bought for HK$180,000 five years ago has now appreciated to HK$380,000, a 111% increase.
When people in Hong Kong meet these days, they all talk about the property market, buying land, apartments, and tenement buildings—it's a sure-fire way to make money.

Many real estate developers now offer down payments as low as 10%, and can even help you secure a loan, though the fees and interest rates may be higher.

This type of mortgage has an interest rate of 13% and a handling fee of 5% of the total amount. This means that while Hong Kong's property market is strong, any slight disturbance could wipe out everyone.

Bai Fengxian placed the box on the dining table, took off her suit, leaving only her underwear on. She had originally intended to sleep, but once inside the house, she felt surprisingly energetic.

Lying in bed, unable to sleep, she could only get up, take out the shoes A-zai had given her, put them over her eyes, feel the delicate texture of the high-end high heels, and couldn't help but laugh.

A-zai was unaware that Bai Fengxian was laughing like a madwoman. He turned on the radio and listened to the music inside.

"If you want to rely on luck, you have to rely on strategy. The Snake King is lazy and lazy, but he's also relentless and aggressive, always chasing and jumping around. If he makes a mistake, he can repeat it, but what's the big deal? It's not like that forever. Don't be afraid of making a big mistake."

The radio was playing The Wynners' "Chase, Run, Jump, Bump," and A-zai started humming along.

He drove straight ahead, but instead of returning to his home in Tuen Mun, he drove to the Miramar Hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui. He then drove the car directly to the underground parking lot and parked it.

Bai Fengxian's ID card was on the dashboard. A-zai stared at it for a few seconds, then picked it up and stuffed it into his pocket.

"Drip drip"

The pager on the armrest box went off. He picked it up and saw the number displayed on the pager, knowing who was calling him.

Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! It's like they're constantly pressuring us to our deaths!

A cursed inwardly, then opened the car door, got out, leaned against the car, smoked a cigarette, locked the door, took the elevator, and went to the agreed floor.

The elevators at the Miramar Hotel are staffed 24 hours a day, and the staff on duty greet guests as soon as they enter the elevator.

"Eighth floor, room 8888!"

A was too tired today to bother arguing with the waiter. He took out his room key from his pocket, waved it in front of the waiter, and told him to shut up.

The waiter noticed A's impatience and wisely pressed the elevator button for the eighth floor, keeping his mouth shut and not saying another word.

We've reached the eighth floor.

The elevator doors slowly opened, and A-zai quickly stepped out of the elevator, arriving at room 8888 with practiced ease.

The room card was swiped on the sensor, and the door lock immediately clicked, opening a crack in the door.

A-zai didn't go into the house immediately. He kept observing the situation in the corridor and waited for a full two minutes. When no one appeared, he quickly went into the room and closed the door.

Before he could even stand up straight, someone grabbed Brother A and hugged him.

The familiar temperature, the familiar feel, the familiar shampoo scent.

"I smell like smoke all over me. Didn't you say you hate the smell of smoke? You always make me take a shower."

A-zai hugged Mei-feng, who was wearing a sexy nightgown with only a few pieces of fabric, rested his chin on Mei-feng's head, and hugged the beautiful young woman in front of him with both hands.

"Sometimes I hate the smell of smoke, and sometimes I really like it! Especially the smell of smoke on you."

Mei Feng was like a little girl, clinging tightly to the man in front of her. When she was on Luzon Island, all she could think about was this damned cop. She thought that if she couldn't go back and would never see A-Zai again, she would rather die right now.

Middle-aged people falling in love is like an old house catching fire—extremely fierce! Not even a thousand torchbearers could extinguish it.

The woman's sweet words filled A-zai with energy. He had been waiting for a long time, and now he was sure he could be polite. He immediately threw his jacket on the ground.

Ten thousand words are omitted here.
"Did you send the high heels to your lover?"

Mei-Feng lay lazily on the bed, but her words were laced with sarcasm, and A-Zai's expression was quite intriguing.

"I gave it away. A pair of shoes worth ten thousand yuan. It made that tomboy beam with joy. She's probably still excited and can't sleep right now."

A-zai sat up straight, leaned against Mei-feng, took the cigarette from her hand, took a puff, and then passed it to Mei-feng with a kiss.

The actions were daring and exciting, and Mei Feng let down her guard, enjoying this relaxing time.

The old Rolls-Royce is still a Rolls-Royce, and the new Corolla is still a Corolla.

Bai Fengxian and Mei Feng, although both have the character "Feng" in their names, are worlds apart in quality.

Even a fool knows how to choose!
But when playing a part, one must be genuinely sincere, and A certainly didn't want Bai Fengxian to see through her act.

Love can make a woman blind. You should know that Bai Fengxian is a master of criminal intelligence. If it weren't for the smokescreen of love, she might have been exposed.

For the sake of future wealth and happiness, and to stay together forever, A-zai must be focused and not make any mistakes.

"Okay! I'm covered in sweat! Let me rest for a bit!"

Mei Feng pouted and gently patted A-Zai, indicating that she needed to rest for a while.

"Look what this is!"

A-zai picked up his jacket, took out Bai Fengxian's ID card from inside, and threw it at Mei Feng.

The allure in Mei Feng's eyes vanished instantly. She picked up the ID card and examined it closely.

"No need to look, this ID card has a higher access level than mine."

"The access control can be bypassed!"

A-zai lit a cigarette, rested his head on Mei-feng's long, slender thighs, and began to speak slowly and deliberately.

Mei-feng knew that the access control A-zai was talking about was that particular access control system. The old man had sent a fax some time ago, issuing the latest orders.

An order that terrified Mei Feng!
