Chapter 736, Section 327: Stories Always Rise Amidst Storms (Continue the Challenge!)
(Continuing the challenge of updating 8,000 words before 11:50 PM!)

(Ah Xian just doesn't believe in this nonsense!)
The big donkey hung the radio microphone back on the rack and calmly watched the wind and rain outside.

But his trembling hand holding the cigarette betrayed him; perhaps the turmoil in his heart was even more intense than the typhoon outside.

The cigarette fell several times before it finally reached his mouth. The big donkey swiped the Zippo lighter several times before finally lighting the cigarette in his mouth.

Choupihao keeps his word; if he says he's signed the recommendation letter, then he definitely has.

Shapison's recommendation letter is a golden ticket; even if he couldn't attend on the day, he would still get a perfect score.

Sitting in the car, it took Big Donkey more than ten minutes to calm himself down, but he still didn't get off because he saw a motorcycle emerge from the storm.

The motorcyclist, wearing a rubber raincoat and carrying a food box, walked into the Starfish Bar without removing his helmet.

Big Donkey's gaze followed the motorcyclist into the Starfish Bar, and he also memorized the license plate of the Japanese Kawasaki motorcycle.

Jasmine is playing with fire this time, but this gossipy woman is one of our own. We're all in the same boat, so I need to clean up the mess for her and finalize everything.

Helping others is helping yourself; you can't let your superiors or the Department of Justice see through your scheme.

Jasmine and Bai Fengxian chatted casually. They were old acquaintances, having worked together for two or three years and were quite familiar with each other.

But Jasmine was surprised to find that Bai Fengxian, this tomboy, had become much more feminine.

The saying "There are no ugly women under 30" is not entirely accurate. As long as a woman is under 30 and knows how to dress herself up a little, she will have a feminine charm.

But Bai Fengxian, a workaholic who is single-mindedly focused on her career, is different. She spends all her time in the office, and when her shirts get dirty, she has to send them to the dry cleaners.

Sometimes, when dealing with big cases, it's common to not go home for a whole week.

The workaholic has suddenly become more feminine, which is a bit unusual. Normally, this would be gossip.

Go to the break room or chat with your best friend, and you'll find out everything.

But Jasmine is currently on a mission, working as a ghost, and her best friends aren't in the same group, so she's not receiving any messages.

However, something unusual is bound to happen. During the big case, the tomboy suddenly started dating, which is definitely not normal and needs to be investigated.

Bai Fengxian's unusual behavior made Jasmine uneasy, but she remained calm and continued chatting with Bai Fengxian.

"buzzing"

The noise of the motorcycle engine drifted into the Starfish Bar.

Bai Fengxian put down her wine glass and looked towards the source of the sound. She saw a person wearing a motorcycle helmet and a raincoat get off the motorcycle, carry a fast food box, and walk into the Starfish Bar.

"jingle."

The brass bell hanging on the door of the Starfish Bar rang, and a motorcyclist wearing a helmet walked into the bar, went straight to the front desk, and placed his fast food box on the bar.

What's meant to come will come eventually!

The bartender sighed inwardly, put down his glass and burlap, picked up the takeout box, and shook it vigorously.

The fast food box was empty, and the contents inside rustled.

Since there were items inside the fast food box, the bartender put the 50,000 yuan that Jasmine had given him on the counter and bought the expensive takeout.

The motorcyclist remained silent, simply counting the banknotes. Once the amount was correct, he stuffed them into his pocket and turned to leave.

After the motorcyclist got on his motorcycle and disappeared from sight, Jasmine got up and picked up the takeout box from the bartender.

After confirming that there were indeed items in the fast food box, Jasmine gave the bartender an OK sign, indicating that she would remember this favor.

"I remember everything you owe me."

The bartender pointed to his head, indicating that he had memorized everything.

"If you're going to take notes, take as many as you can! And another bowl of noodles, with extra pork bones!"

The previous bowl of delicious udon noodles was eaten by the big, clumsy donkey, and Jasmine's stomach was still rumbling. Since she was going to remember it anyway, she might as well have another bowl of noodles.

The bartender had never seen such a shameless woman, but he was helpless and could only walk into the kitchen expressionlessly to get Jasmine a new bowl of noodles.

Jasmine tossed the fast food box onto the table, and neither of them moved. They sat quietly, waiting for the big donkey to return.

After arranging everything from inside the car, the big, clumsy donkey braved the wind and rain to re-enter the Starfish Bar and return to his seat.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Jasmine didn't waste any time and opened the fast food box, only to find a business card inside.

[Auk International Freight Company]

Upon seeing the business card, Jasmine immediately pretended to be deep in thought. After three minutes, she finally spoke, "This batch of goods should be shipped through Oak International Terminal."

Hearing this, Bai Fengxian was also half-believing and half-doubting, but if the shipping location was indeed the Oak International Terminal, then the 50,000 yuan was indeed well spent.

"The bald eagle did indeed make two trips to the Oak International Port recently!"

After pondering for a few seconds, the big donkey made a well-timed remark, which served as confirmation of the plausibility of Jasmine's information.

With the big donkey as evidence, Bai Fengxian was about 80% convinced, nodded, and considered her next move.

"Jasmine just mentioned Ninth Sister, saying that Ninth Sister is very likely related to this Waterway King Gold Deal, so I asked the other guys in the group."

“Other groups are investigating the number gang’s fan stalls. They told me that Bai He was acting very strangely today. He was driving a Suzuki pickup truck by himself and heading towards Yuen Long.”

"I have a feeling something's up, so I've already sent the alarm clocks on duty today to keep an eye on the white crane."

"We've got the location. All we have to do is wait and see. These gangsters are all brainless; they'll definitely come to us willingly."

Fearing that Bai Fengxian would continue questioning Jasmine and expose her, Da Benlu quickly interrupted, making up a reason to divert Bai Fengxian's attention to Bai He. Hearing that Bai He, that good-for-nothing, had a new move, Bai Fengxian immediately stood up, put on Da Benlu's suit, and said to Jasmine, "Put your work into it."

"Once this is all settled, you can go home. Your dad misses you terribly!"

"Boss, let's go!"

Bai Fengxian didn't know what Jasmine had to do with this shop, but it was indeed not appropriate to say too much in front of outsiders.

After saying goodbye to Jasmine, she and Big Donkey hurriedly left the Starfish Bar.

Jasmine watched the two leave, seeing them get into the bulky Toyota Corolla and disappear into the heavy rain.

"They've all gone far away, there's no need to look anymore."

"Your noodles!"

The bartender appeared beside Jasmine with a bowl of delicious udon soup and gave her a reminder.

"Thank you!"

Jasmine brought the delicious udon noodles to her, broke apart the disposable chopsticks, thanked her, and began to enjoy her dinner.

People in the martial arts world all have secrets, and betrayal is the main theme. To exaggerate a bit, they all have imperial connections. As the leader of the ship gang, the bartender uncle was already used to it.

Seeing Jasmine eating her noodles with her head down, he walked over to the secondhand karaoke machine that had just been imported from Japan, took out a woman's head, and threw it into the coin slot.

The used cassette tape karaoke machine started spinning, and the bartender randomly pressed a number key.

"You'll never know how much I really love you"

(You'll never know how much I love you!)

"You'll never know how much I really care"

(You'll never know how much I care about you.)
"Listen, do you want to know a secret?"

(Listen, do you want to know a secret?)
"Do you promise not to tell?"

(Are you swearing you won't tell anyone?)

Music played in the Starfish Bar, and the bartender hummed the melody as he went on to do his job.

The diesel engine of the Suzuki pickup truck hummed in the traffic on King's Road, and the dark green tarpaulin covering the back of the truck was being tossed about by the wind.

Bai He rested his left hand on the steering wheel and his right hand, holding a cigarette, rested on the gear lever.

Rain stung the windshield at an angle, and the wipers were working diligently, but they would get stuck on the third wipe, leaving a crooked water streak.

"Punch his mother!"

Bai He cursed, stuffed a cigarette into his mouth, and used one hand to tap the windshield wiper switch, causing the pickup truck to sway.

In just a few seconds, the traffic light in the middle of the road changed color.

The white Ford sedan, parked behind the Suzuki pickup truck, honked its horn as soon as the light turned green but the car in front hadn't moved.

After three or five bangs, seeing that the Suzuki pickup truck still hadn't moved, the driver rolled down the window, leaned out, and cursed, "Damn it!"

"Can you drive?"

"If you're blind, don't try to drive a car like a human!"

Baihe didn't say anything, after all, it was his own fault for not paying attention, so he quickly released the clutch, stepped on the gas pedal to the floor, and drove off.

During a typhoon, everyone wants to drive home and doesn't want to be out in the wind, especially since they have important things to do and can't afford to be out fooling around.

Baihe wanted to settle things peacefully, but the owner of the white Ford was furious and unwilling to let the matter rest.

With a quick acceleration, it cut in front of the Suzuki pickup truck and blocked the White Crane from stopping.

Because the windshield wipers were malfunctioning, Baihe's vision was obstructed. By the time he noticed the car behind him trying to stop him, it was too late.

Even when he slammed on the brakes, he couldn't stop and crashed directly into the left rear door of the white Ford.

"boom"

The cigarette in Baihe's mouth fell onto his crotch. He hurriedly and clumsily brushed the cigarette butt off, but a small hole was still burned into his Valentino trousers, which he had bought for two thousand yuan.

"I'll attack your mother!"

Upon seeing a small hole burned into his designer trousers, Bai He's temper flared up instantly, and he cursed under his breath.

"Blind bastard Bing!"

The driver's side door of the white Ford opened, and the driver pushed the door open, his trouser legs splashing mud as soon as they touched the ground.

The torrential rain and strong winds soaked the Ford driver to the bone in an instant, which only fueled his anger.

Enraged, the Ford owner rolled up his sleeves and stormed over to the Suzuki pickup truck.

"You idiot! Do you even know how to drive?"

“Let me tell you, you bastard, this is a new car. The back doors all need to be replaced. It won’t be possible to do it for less than five thousand yuan. You piece of trash, get out of the car right now.”

The Ford owner pounded on the car window, demanding that Baihe, who was sitting in the driver's seat, get out of the car.
