Chapter 181

Lan Juying said she would invite Zhai Yuan to dinner near her home.

Zhai Yuan thought that she actually wanted to hitchhike back to Mong Kok, but he still gave her face and let her sit in the passenger seat.

In the car, Miss Lan rested her head against the window.

The wind blew her black hair and blew into her shirt, with the top button undone, revealing her collarbone with a distinct neck groove.

The skin is pink and creamy, with a hint of purple lace occasionally.

Zhai Yuan held the steering wheel and felt that the side light was a little out of control.

One glance, another glance.

He stepped on the accelerator again, making the wind outside stronger.

Lan Juying seemed to notice something, covered her collar, withdrew her gaze from the window, and looked at him with a frown.

Zhai yawned as if he was tired, stared at the road intently, and muttered, "It's such a long journey. I should have taken the special bus instead of driving."

Only then did Lan Juying slowly relax her brows.

She held up her fair face, looked at the interior of the seven-seater Toyota, and asked Zhai Yuan curiously: "A big boss like you, even if you don't drive a luxury car, at least you have a driver, right?"

Zhai Yuan thought to himself that they do have luxury cars and drivers, but the one driving the Porsche is now at home studying tips on preparing for pregnancy, and the other one driving the Ferrari is still in school. Besides, I don't dare to let them pick you up.

He said slowly: "Every meal should be appreciated as it is not easy to come by. Every piece of cloth should be appreciated as it is not easy to produce."

Lan Juying looked at him in surprise, then smiled and said, "You rich people talk nicely, but you are actually stingy and mean."

Zhai Yuan felt that he was actually okay. He glanced at Lan Juying and said, "People like Zhao Yifu are stingy. The operators in my telephone company earn more than the big stars in TVB."

Lan Juying shook her head and said, "No, although everyone used to say that Uncle Six was stingy, this time he donated 100 million Hong Kong dollars to the mainland to develop education. He was very generous!"

Zhai Yuan asked: "Where did you see it?"

Lan Juying said: "Several newspapers have been promoting this matter recently."

Zhai Yuan seemed to be thinking about something. He had indeed not been paying attention to the news recently, but when he heard about this incident, he couldn't help but feel moved.

Zhao Yifu quietly donated 100 million yuan to the mainland. This attitude speaks volumes.

Not to mention the distant past or the sensitive issues, just talking about the group of people who always follow the freedom rule, they must be gritting their teeth in hatred recently.

But they certainly didn't dare to say too much. After all, even the office building of their association in Hong Kong was funded and built by Zhao Yi-fu, who also gave him the title of honorary president. The deeply rooted Zhao family was not like a soft persimmon like Jiuyi, who could be bullied by them.

The last time "A Better Tomorrow" had a big impact on public opinion at the global box office, it silenced the Freedom Federation for a long time.

Now that even the big money sponsor has changed his stance, Zhai Yuan is very curious whether that group of people will continue to pretend to be dead.

"It doesn't matter if Formosa bans me, but it does matter if a lot of pretty girls there don't dare to come to Jiuyi."

Dongfang Qingxia with a hair crown, Zuxian, the ghostly Qiannu, Quanzhen, Huizhong, Xiaoqiang, Zhiling, Peichen...

I love Taiwanese girls!

Zhai Yuan hoped that this association would be disbanded as it really affected the exchange and communication between the talents of the two places.

About an hour’s drive.

Finally arrived at the destination.

Mongkok.

When Lan Juying got off the car, she said to Zhai Yuan like she was preaching: "Do you want to learn from Uncle Six and do some charity? I'll introduce you to a few welfare homes, and you can just donate a few thousand yuan every month."

Zhai Yuan said to her seriously, "Crazy woman, let me teach you something."

Lan Juying nodded, and immediately reacted, shaking her fist at him threateningly: "You are the crazy one!"

Zhai Yuan said earnestly: "When poor people like you donate money, it is called charity. When rich people like us donate money, it is called indulgence. The worst thing is that rich people use the money of poor people to donate. This is called a failure."

Lan Juying thought about it, but didn't quite understand.

Zhai Yuan asked her: "Did I do anything wrong?"

Lan Juying frowned: "Although you are a bit annoying, I don't think I have ever heard of you doing anything bad."

Zhai Yuan rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "If you haven't heard of it, then you don't have it. If you don't have it, then you don't need to buy indulgences, so I won't donate it!"

You want to play the moral blackmail? I earned my money through hard work!

Lan Juying pursed her red lips and muttered "stingy guy", not insisting on the topic, and led Zhai Yuan to a tea restaurant on Goldfish Street.

The restaurant environment is very ordinary, but the seats are full of customers, and there are many people queuing. I guess this restaurant has a good reputation in this area.

"The dog noodles and apricot juice pig lung soup here are very famous. If it is during normal times, you have to book a seat at least one or two days in advance."

Lan Juying introduced the environment to Zhai Yuan, raised her eyebrows proudly, and said to him: "But today I'm treating you, you're in luck~"

After saying that, he walked forward, greeted the restaurant owner in a familiar manner, and held up two fingers: "Uncle, can you add two seats for me?"

The boss, Uncle Ying, glanced at Zhai Yuan beside her and said jokingly, "Ms. Ying, did you bring your boyfriend here to show your support? He looks quite young."

Zhai Yuan was quite curious about how Miss Lan would react to this teasing, but the woman actually gave him a disdainful look.

"Don't underestimate him because he's young. He's actually my boss."

After rolling her eyes at Zhai Yuan, Lan Jieying turned around and explained to Uncle Ying: "He is a very good person and has helped me a lot."

Uncle Ying looked at Zhai Yuan in surprise, with an eager smile on his face: "So you are Ying's boss. Thank you for taking care of her. Go upstairs and sit down. I will add two seats for you right away."

"No need to go upstairs and cause trouble, we can just sit outside."

Lan Juying waved her hand, skillfully moved two folding chairs from behind the counter, and walked out panting.

When he reached the door, he turned back and said, "Tell Fatty Cong not to be lazy in the kitchen. This is the first time I bring a friend here. You can't make us wait two hours for the food to be served like last time."

Seeing how familiar she was with the man, Zhai Yuan curiously asked Uncle Ying, "Are you a relative of Dian...Aying?"

Uncle Ying shook his head and smiled, "No, she's just an ordinary neighbor. But Yingnv is very sensible. My granddaughter had a fever and damaged her brain a few years ago. Not only did she come here to volunteer for free, she also went to welfare organizations to raise funds and visited the disabled children's center more often than my son and daughter-in-law."

Zhai Yuan nodded in understanding, glanced at Lan Juying who was arranging tables and chairs outside the door, and thought that this crazy woman was either schizophrenic or hated the rich, her personality was too inconsistent.

The tables and chairs were set, and Uncle Qiang went to the kitchen to help, and several dishes were soon placed on the table.

Lan Juying took the initiative to help Zhai Yuan serve a bowl of pig lung soup, muttering, "This apricot juice pig lung soup must be eaten while hot, otherwise it will be a bit fishy. Don't underestimate this tea restaurant, it's a time-honored brand on Goldfish Street for decades. In fact, I originally wanted to invite you to a big restaurant, but the chefs there may not be as good as Uncle Qiang's ancestral craftsmanship. You will know after you try it."

Zhai Yuan felt that another reason why she didn't invite him to a big restaurant was that she was short of money.

Seeing Lan Juying trying to make amends for her reputation, Zhai Yuan felt amused and decided to make Chen Lan return the money she had cheated from her family as soon as possible.

When Zhai Yuan was drinking soup, Lan Juying kept staring at him.

After taking two sips, she quickly asked, "How is it? Does it taste good?"

Zhai Yuan smiled and nodded: "Not bad, better than the chefs in big restaurants."

Lan Juying showed a relieved expression on her face, and then said proudly: "Of course, otherwise why would I bring you here."

She invited Zhai Yuan to dinner for other purposes.

When they were almost done with the meal, Lan Juying coughed and drew Zhai Yuan's attention.

She smiled ingratiatingly and said, "I did something wrong before. I'm apologizing to you for the third time. After you finish this meal, I'll erase the past like chalk writing, okay?"

Zhai Yuan smiled at her: "Do you know you are wrong?" Lan Juying didn't get a satisfactory answer immediately, and her smile disappeared in an instant. She said in a muffled voice: "I know."

Zhai Yuan pressed the issue further and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lan Juying raised her eyebrows. According to her previous temper, she would have started to scold him immediately. Did I give you face?

But after Chen Lan's PUA for a period of time, Miss Lan's square personality has finally been smoothed out.

She hesitated for a few seconds, pouted and said reluctantly: "I shouldn't have hung up on you so easily. I didn't speak respectfully... Anyway, it was wrong."

Zhai Yuan was afraid that she would say something like "I've already admitted my mistake, what else do you want?"

At this moment, my brother's phone suddenly rang.

Zhai Yuan took out his phone and answered: "Hello?"

Chen Lan's laughter came from the other side: "Boss, are you in Mong Kok now? The people who were sent out to protect Miss Lan saw you guys dining together."

Zhai Yuan rolled his eyes and said, "The better thing you should say is protection."

Chen Lan continued, "Look around. There is a man wearing a plaid shirt. He looks like a Taoist. He has a goatee and is easy to spot."

Zhai Yuan looked around and quickly found the man she was talking about. The other party seemed to have seen him a long time ago and nodded from a distance with a flattering smile on his face.

He glanced at Lan Juying who was picking up rice grains and asked, "Well, what next?"

Chen Lan said, "He was the one who cheated Miss Lan's father out of his money. I thought that since I had to pay it back, I might as well pay it back with something more valuable, so I arranged for you to show off your skills in front of Miss Lan."

Zhai Yuan secretly sighed that the society was dangerous and it was a pity that Chen Lan did not become a mama-san.

Then Chen Lan said, "If necessary, I will arrange for someone to create an opportunity for her to go to the hotel with you tonight..."

Zhai Yuan interrupted directly: "No need!"

As soon as I hung up the phone, a man with a goatee came over from a distance.

The man with the goatee walked to the table and asked Zhai Yuan like he was selling something: "Boss, I'm a manager at the Far East Exchange. I have a few high-quality stocks. Are you interested?"

Lan Juying dropped the chopsticks in her hand onto the table. She suddenly looked up, staring at the goatee with her eyes fixed, and flames seemed to be gradually spitting out of her eyes.

…………

After half an hour.

Zhai Yuan and Lan Juying walked out of the Mong Kok police station.

The progress was very smooth. It was a one-stop service from arresting people to compensating money, without any drag or delay.

Lan Juying held a check in her hand, her face flushed with excitement. "I didn't expect to meet this liar at my doorstep. Mr. Zhai, thank you so much this time. If you hadn't held on to him, he would have run away just now."

Zhai Yuan curled his lips and smiled. This silly girl was really naive. How could a scammer come to her door and sell things to a young person like her who looked only in her teens?

And this happened in front of the family of the previous victim.

Just now, after the goatee was discovered by Lan Juying, he immediately overturned the table and ran away. Lan Juying chased him relentlessly and asked him to pay back the money. Zhai Yuan had to chase him for two steps symbolically.

The result was that as soon as Lan Juying started chasing him, Goatee immediately sped up and left her behind.

When Zhai Yuan was chasing him, the man with goatee began to create obstacles for himself intentionally or unintentionally, fearing that Zhai Yuan would not be able to catch him. In the end, he took the initiative to go into a dead end and pulled out a knife in front of Lan Juying. Of course, he was finally captured heroically by Zhai Yuan.

Zhai Yuan was half passively cooperating with the performance and even felt embarrassed.

Lan Juying believed it without a doubt and her emotions fluctuated greatly.

This situation can only fool people like her who have no social experience. If they are more careful, like the group of re-employed employees in Secret Garden, who have all suffered from the groom's tricks and are well versed in this method, they might be able to track down Chen Lan by now.

Zhai Yuan said, "Let's go. I'll go to the bank with you to get the money out and bring it home so that your uncle and aunt can rest assured."

Lan Juying hummed, and then asked with concern: "You were not hurt just now, were you?"

Zhai Yuan shook his head. Although getting injured would be more of a show effect, he would not dare to hurt himself even if Goatbeard had the guts.

The two walked through an alley and headed towards the nearest bank.

Six young men were walking towards us, arm in arm. Two of the girls were drunk and did not resist being touched all over by the four boys. Their tops were pushed up most of the way, and they were basically no different from being naked. If it hadn't been dark yet, these young men would probably have done something naughty right there.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in Mong Kok. Several streets in this area specialize in selling trendy goods, which are equivalent to Ximending in Taiwan and Harajuku in Japan. They attract many young people to gather here. They are all very bold, especially at night. You can often see two pieces of white meat in the dark alleys. The sanitation workers at work the next day will clean up the bags of children on the ground while cursing in the streets.

Now the six young men didn't know whether to get a room or wait until dark to solve the problem where they were.

Zhai Yuan frowned when he saw their aggressive appearance, and pushed Lan Juying behind him, trying to go around them sideways.

Unexpectedly, after walking only two steps, a young man with dyed yellow hair set his eyes on Anita Mui and was attracted by her beautiful appearance.

"Beautiful girl, can we be friends?" The yellow-haired man's eyes lit up and he stepped in front of Anita Mui.

The alley was not wide to begin with, and the six of them had already blocked most of it, and now the yellow-haired guy was blocking the entire road.

Lan Juying didn't tolerate him either. Her pretty face turned cold as she uttered one word: "Get lost!"

The yellow-haired man laughed, showing his true colors as a little hooligan. He said with a smell of alcohol on his mouth, "Go away? Okay, I'll take you to a hotel room, and we'll go and roll around on the bed together."

As he spoke, he reached out to touch her face.

Lan Juying frowned in disgust and took a few steps back.

The yellow-haired man followed her with a smile and grabbed her chest with his dirty hands.

Snap! Zhai Yuan reached out from the side and grabbed the yellow-haired man's wrist.

Regardless of the other party's struggle, he dialed Chen Lan's number with his other hand and asked in a deep voice: "Are you done?"

Chen Lan asked puzzledly on the phone: "What happened?"

Zhai Yuan realized that this matter had nothing to do with her, so she just gave an address and hung up the phone.

The yellow-haired man whose wrist he held was reeking of alcohol. He struggled several times to no avail and cursed a few words with an unhappy look on his face.

Several other young men in the alley also came following the reputation.

The three boys laughed and cast bad looks at Lan Juying.

"Handsome boy, your girlfriend is so beautiful, why don't you take turns playing with her~"

As he spoke, he hugged two disheveled girls and pushed them towards Zhai Yuan.

The two drunk girls just laughed foolishly, not caring about what the boys said. When they were pushed, their legs went limp and they collapsed to the ground.

Lan Juying was afraid of getting into trouble, so she pulled Zhai Yuan's clothes from behind and said softly, "Let's retreat the same way we came."

Huang Mao suddenly grabbed Zhai Yuan's arm and glared at Lan Juying, "Don't leave! Pretty girl, if you dare to leave, be careful or we will teach your boyfriend a lesson."

Lan Juying frowned and scolded: "I live here..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhai Yuan turned around and asked, "What time does the bank close?"

Lan Juying was startled: "Five o'clock."

Zhai Yuan asked: "What time is it now?"

Lan Juying glanced at the dial: "It's half past four."

Zhai Yuan said with a dark face: "Then why waste time talking to them?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the phone in his brother's hand hit the yellow-haired man's head hard!
