Age: My Small World

"Cough cough..."

Reminded by Xu Shanshan in the passenger seat, Yang Jun quickly ran over to open the car door for her.

"Hmph, with so many young and beautiful women here, are you seeing things?"

Looking at the gazes around her, Xu Shanshan couldn't help but feel a mix of pride and jealousy.

There were quite a few girls here today. After all, it was Mr. Du's daughter hosting her wedding banquet, and many high-society people came to show their respect, bringing along their younger relatives. Among them were quite a few dazzling young men and beautiful young women.

However, among these young talents, Yang Jun stood out from the crowd, inevitably attracting the attention of many girls.

That's why Xu Shanshan looks the way she does. Sometimes she thinks about her age and realizes that she is quite a bit older than Yang Jun.

Besides, how could she not know what men are thinking? No matter how old a man is, he always prefers eighteen-year-olds.

"No matter how beautiful the other flowers are, I only love you."

Yang Jun knew he had to speak carefully at this moment, otherwise things would get even more complicated if the woman got angry.

Sure enough, after he said that, Xu Shanshan immediately smiled.

"What are you saying? You're making it sound like I'm a flower you can pick at will."

"How could that be? What I mean is that with your unparalleled beauty, I can't even keep up with you."

After appeasing Xu Shanshan, the two walked arm in arm into the restaurant.

The girls who were initially amazed by Yang Jun immediately turned away and pursed their lips when they saw Xu Shanshan.

"This man has terrible taste; he actually likes an old woman."

The restaurant was already bustling with activity. After all, it was the wedding of Mr. Du's daughter, and how could it not be a grand affair to show how much Mr. Du valued his daughter?

Lei Bao used all his resources to ensure his nephew wasn't completely outshone.

After receiving the gift list, the two were led by the greeter to an empty spot.

The wedding was Western-style, but the food served was Chinese.

Yang Jun quite liked the dishes at this restaurant; they looked pretty good.

"I've received word that the three chief detectives will be promoted to chief detective tonight. That guy is really lucky; he became chief detective right after becoming a detective."

Xu Shanshan looked at Lei Guan, who was quite smug on the stage, and then at Yang Jun.

"Why don't you stay and work in Hong Kong? I'll guarantee you'll become the chief detective in a few years."

Yang Jun shook his head: "I have no interest in being a detective."

"Humph!"

Knowing that he still had the same plan, Xu Shanshan felt a wave of disappointment.

She really wanted him to stay in Hong Kong, even if he brought his wife from home, but unfortunately, he was just so stubborn.

"The wedding has begun, let's watch quietly."

Yang Jun stopped her from speaking again.

On a red carpet that had already been laid out, the two newlyweds were dressed in pure white gowns.

Both the bride and groom were beaming with joy at that moment, showing that they were truly in love.

Yang Jun was quite curious about this Western-style wedding, so he became interested. But when a pastor came up on stage, he couldn't help but guess what would happen next; it would probably be just like in the TV dramas.

The pastor's prayers, the bride and groom's heartfelt words, their vows of lifelong love, and the exchange of rings—the wedding was now complete.

"How romantic."

Before Yang Jun could react, Xu Shanshan next to him had already stared blankly.

"What's so romantic about that?" Yang Jun couldn't appreciate it.

Xu Shanshan glared at him: "You don't understand. A wedding is probably the most beautiful moment in a girl's life, and it must be the most romantic one too."

He shrugged, not taking it seriously.

The two were not the main characters at today's wedding banquet. Even Lei Guan only came over in a hurry to offer a toast before leaving in a hurry.

Yang Jun could understand that Lei Guan had suddenly become the new chief detective, and his subordinates must have a lot of things to do, so there was naturally not much time for them to talk.

After the meal, the two returned to their peaceful lives.

However, at the same time, Lei Guan's news was changing every day, and he was even constantly appearing on the front page of the news.

All of this is naturally related to his initial burst of activity upon taking office.

With Lei Guan taking office as Chief Inspector, more than a dozen ordinary detectives were added to the entire city. Some people began to think about not listening to the young Lei Guan.

However, everyone underestimated Lei Guan; he was a true ruthless and ambitious figure.

Someone opposed Lei Guan, which unfortunately hit him where it hurt.

Lei Guan immediately took swift action, capturing the detective in one fell swoop, and then dumping the body in front of the others, shocking everyone beyond measure.

Even more terrifying is that Lei Guan began to exert influence within the gang through his uncle Lei Bao. He wanted to meet Jiang Gong, and Lei Bao arranged it.

Although Lei Bao was promoted by Lü Liang, Lei Guan was one of his own brothers, so when it came to people, he would support his own brother first.

With Jiang Gong's support, Lei Guan was able to act freely and began trying to connect all the gangs in Hong Kong through Jiang Gong.

As the saying goes, the world, after a long period of division, tends to unite; after a long period of unity, tends to divide.

The gangs in Hong Kong have been fighting for control of the city for a long time, during which there have been at least hundreds of brawls, some of them large-scale.

Having experienced such torment, most of the low-level thugs actually preferred to settle down. In addition, the one leading the charge was a chief detective, so how could the major gangs not be willing?

As a result, in just half a month, the gangs in Hong Kong seemed to have undergone a dramatic change.

That day, Yang Jun had just arrived on the street to look for Lei Bao when he saw the shops on the roadside voluntarily paying their membership fees.

Yes, Lei Guan deliberately formed an association. The main purpose of this association was to unite all the gangs in Hong Kong. Who knew that now that everyone has joined, the association would have another function: collecting common fees.

This so-called membership fee was then redistributed by Lei Guan.

He managed both the money and the people, and in a short period of time, Lei Guan's name resounded throughout the port city.

Yang Jun couldn't help but sigh, "Sure enough, some people are born to do this kind of work. It's a real shame he's not a gang leader."

In his view, if a talent like Lei Guan were placed in a gang, he would likely lead Zhongyi Hall to become the largest gang in the southeast and even the entire east.

At this moment, Lei Guan's abilities were actually limited by his position as chief detective. His business acumen could now only be applied to the Federation.

It was through this association that Lei Guan gradually embarked on a path that Yang Jun found increasingly familiar. (End of Chapter)
