My wife and I are both time travelers.

Chapter 132 Note
Zhou Jiye poured out all his indignation. His anger was half genuine and half feigned. On one hand, he was indeed angry because of Cheng Jiandong's arrangements. If he hadn't been given the tools to do such a big thing, at least Zhou Jiye would have been mentally prepared. But instead of giving him the tools, he was also wary of him. The tools he was given couldn't even make a sound.

Fortunately, the situation was under control today, and the security guard didn't have any weapons. Cheng Jiandong also turned around and fired a shot in time. But what if they ran into patrolling police? Like last time, with bullets flying everywhere in the street, wouldn't Zhou Jiye be asking for death if he charged in with such a thing?
This was Zhou Jiye's true thought. At the same time, he also planned to use this as an excuse to test Cheng Jiandong and force him to make a statement. Otherwise, how long would this go on? He was stuck here, unable to move forward or backward, and unable to contact Shanghai. The longer it went on, the more anxious Zhou Jiye became.

"Brother, calm down. Come on, have a cigarette." Cheng Jiandong blushed slightly at Zhou Jiye's words. He had indeed gone too far today. If it weren't for the security guard's actions, Zhou Jiye wouldn't have discovered that the guy he gave him had been tampered with.

But the deed was done, and Cheng Jiandong still had to give Zhou Jiye an explanation. Moreover, after what happened today, Cheng Jiandong considered Zhou Jiye to be one of his own. Since he was his brother, and Cheng Jiandong still needed to use Zhou Jiye, he had to appease him.

He handed Zhou Jiye a cigarette and lit it for him with a lighter. Cheng Jiandong patted Zhou Jiye on the shoulder and said sincerely, "This is indeed my fault for not thinking things through. I'm sorry you had to go through this. But don't worry, there will never be a next time. If a similar situation happens again, you don't need to say anything. I'll let you do whatever you want!"

"Also, today's big meal went smoothly. I estimate that what we got will be at least two million after we sell it. I'll make the decision, Dong-ge, and in addition to the 10% we agreed on before, I'll give you an extra 10%, so that's 20% of your share. Don't think it's not much. After all, this big meal was done by everyone, and everyone got a share. You're a newcomer, and if you really calculate it, even A-Peng and A-Jun wouldn't get this much. It's quite a lot."

"That's it?" Zhou Jiye, smoking a cigarette, glanced sideways at Cheng Jiandong and asked with a sneer, "That's all?"

"Hahaha!" Cheng Jiandong seemed to suddenly remember something, slapped his forehead and laughed: "Look at my brain, I almost forgot."

"I've been so busy these past few days that I haven't had a chance to think about it. It's my fault, I completely forgot about it. You didn't even remind me? The identity issue hasn't been resolved yet. But don't worry, tomorrow! Tomorrow I'll take you to get your identity processed, and I promise I'll take care of it for you. Is that alright?"

Zhou Jiye smoked a cigarette with his head covered, seemingly hesitating about something. After thinking for a while, he reluctantly nodded in agreement. However, he still told Cheng Jiandong that this was the first and last time. If it happened again, he would just leave without saying a word. The same goes for the ID card issue. He hoped that Cheng Jiandong would not break his promise.

Cheng Jiandong patted his chest and assured Zhou Jiye, readily agreeing with a smile. Seeing that Zhou Jiye's expression had finally softened and he was no longer pursuing the matter, Cheng Jiandong was also pleased. After all, having gained a reliable subordinate would be very useful for his future plans, and Zhou Jiye, having passed his test, was now truly one of his own.

After chatting with Cheng Jiandong, Zhou Jiye made an excuse that he was a little tired and went back to his room to rest. Cheng Jiandong nodded with a smile. He felt that Zhou Jiye was a little nervous because it was his first time doing such a job, and he had also been tricked by him. Although he had calmed down now, it was normal for him to be a little irritable.

Now that Zhou Jiye had passed his test and Cheng Jiandong had completely accepted him, there was no need to be as wary as before. Cheng Jiandong smiled and told him to get some rest, and that he would take him to get his ID card tomorrow.

After leaving the room and returning to his own, Zhou Jiye lay on the bed and turned on the TV. Two people in ancient costumes were talking on the TV, and he didn't know what kind of drama it was. He wasn't interested in watching it and was secretly thinking about everything that had happened today, planning what to do next after he got his ID card tomorrow.

The next morning, Cheng Jiandong really did take him to get his ID card. Afen drove them to the personnel registration office. When they arrived, Cheng Jiandong knew the way well and found the service window. He took the form and pointed Zhou Jiye to fill it out. After that, he took his own ID card and vouched for Zhou Jiye.

After some procedures, Zhou Jiye's ID card was issued in no time. Looking at the simple, laminated Hong Kong ID card with his photo on it, Zhou Jiye couldn't help but feel a little emotional. This thing was done just like that.

In the blink of an eye, Zhou Jiye had transformed from an illegal immigrant into a Hong Kong resident, and he was still a little unaccustomed to it. Touching his ID card in his pocket and feeling the hard, plastic seal on the outside, Zhou Jiye quickly calmed down.

Now that's great, with this thing he doesn't have to worry about being checked for ID on the street anymore; he can just openly show it to the police.

Even with the ID card, Cheng Jiandong didn't let Zhou Jiye move freely. Although he had already tested Zhou Jiye and accepted him as a member of the gang, Cheng Jiandong, who was always cautious, was worried that something might go wrong after they had just done something big. He wouldn't feel at ease until the batch of goods in his hands was sold.

For the next few days, Zhou Jiye stayed at his original residence with Liangzai Jun and the others. Until one day, Cheng Jiandong, who had gone out to make contact, returned and said that he had reached an agreement with Uncle Lin, and Zhou Jiye would go with him the next day when the transaction was to take place.

It's the same alley, the same operation as before.

Zhou Jiye carried a canvas bag, Cheng Jiandong was in front, and Liangzai Jun was behind. The three of them entered the door.

Huang Mao Abang led them to the office from last time. After entering the room, Uncle Lin greeted Cheng Jiandong and the others with a smile.

Next, the same procedure was followed as before. Ah Kun was in charge of inspecting the goods, while Uncle Lin and Cheng Jiandong drank tea, smoked cigars, and chatted. This time, Zhou Jiye was not as nervous as last time. He stood aside with Liangzai Jun and waited patiently. When he was bored, he looked around the decorations in the office, especially staring at the Guan Yu statue in Uncle Lin's shrine for a while.

Ah Kun quickly inspected the goods and nodded to indicate that there were no problems. The next step was to proceed with the formal transaction as previously agreed.

As Ah Kun finished collecting the goods and took out the pre-prepared banknotes from the safe, Zhou Jiye suddenly noticed that Ah Kun, who was placing stacks of banknotes on the table, slightly raised his head and gave him a faint smile. This smile surprised Zhou Jiye. He had only met Ah Kun twice, and they hadn't even exchanged a word. Why was this guy smiling at him with that expression? Could he have been mistaken? Was Ah Kun smiling at Cheng Jiandong or Liangzai Jun? But no, that look was clearly directed at him.

However, the smile was only fleeting. By the time Zhou Jiye came to his senses, Ah Kun had already lowered his head. For a moment, Zhou Jiye was unsure if what he had seen was a hallucination. But before he could figure it out, his thoughts were interrupted by Cheng Jiandong's actions. Cheng Jiandong smiled and put the money on the table into a canvas bag. After he finished, he greeted Uncle Lin and then led Zhou Jiye and the others to leave.

"Abang, Akun, see Adong off for me." Uncle Lin said casually. Cheng Jiandong smiled and said, "You're too kind." Then the group went out.

When they went downstairs, Abang walked in front, Zhou Jiye followed behind, and behind him were Cheng Jiandong, Akun and Liangzai Jun.

Ah Kun walked along with them, chatting with Cheng Jiandong from time to time. The journey was smooth. When they reached the door, Huang Mao Abang opened the door and stood by the door, gesturing for them to go out. Just as Zhou Jiye stepped out of the door, a piece of paper was suddenly stuffed into his right hand. Zhou Jiye was slightly stunned, but quickly came to his senses. His heart pounded, and he kept moving his feet. He put the paper in his pocket with his right hand, and then pulled it out with his empty hand.

It all happened in an instant. Cheng Jiandong, who was behind him, was shaking hands with Akun to say goodbye and didn't pay attention to Zhou Jiye. As for Liangzai Jun, who was walking at the back, his view was blocked by Cheng Jiandong and Akun, so he couldn't see Zhou Jiye's movements at all.

After Zhou Jiye went out, he subconsciously looked back and saw Huang Mao Abang smiling at him with the same expression as Akun before. At this moment, Zhou Jiye's heart was pounding so hard that he could almost hear it. Although he didn't know what was written on the note Abang had given him, he was certain that whether it was Abang or Akun, he hadn't misread it before, and their target was him.

After leaving there, they returned to their lodgings without incident. Once there, the most important thing to do was to divide the money.

Cheng Jiandong distributed the money to everyone according to the previously agreed ratio. After Peng and the others happily received their share, Peng, who had been eager to go out and have some fun, couldn't wait to leave as soon as he got his money. Cheng Jiandong didn't try to stop him, but just told him to be careful not to spend the money recklessly. Then Peng left excitedly.

Then Ah Fen and Handsome Jun each took their money and left the room happily. After Zhou Jiye was left, Cheng Jiandong divided the remaining money and handed over 400,000.

"Here's your agreed-upon 20%!"

"Hehehe... Thank you, Brother Dong, thank you, Brother Dong." Zhou Jiye grinned from ear to ear, reached out and grabbed the money, counting the coins in front of him until his teeth were showing.

"Hahaha, my brother Dong always keeps his word. How about that? Are you relieved now?"

"Don't worry, don't be alarmed at all. Thank you so much, Brother Dong." Zhou Jiye nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice.

Cheng Jiandong, smoking a cigarette, asked with a smile, "Now that you have money, what are your plans for it?"

"Brother Dong, to be honest, I plan to send half of this money home. I've been in Hong Kong for so long without even contacting my family, and they must be so worried. Now that I have Hong Kong residency and money, I can't forget about home, can I? Besides, I wanted to call home to let them know I'm safe. What do you think...?"

As he spoke, Zhou Jiye nervously rubbed his hands together, looking at Cheng Jiandong with an expectant expression.

"Hehe, that's to be expected. You really are something. Why didn't you tell me about this sooner? If you had told me earlier, would I have stopped you from contacting your family? So much time has passed, and you haven't even called home to let them know you're safe. Your family must be worried sick."

"You little punk, I told you before that you'd let me make a phone call? Now you're pretending to be a good guy?" Zhou Jiye cursed inwardly. What kind of talk was Cheng Jiandong? He wouldn't even let him leave the house before, let alone make a phone call? Make a phone call my ass! If he had made that request before, Cheng Jiandong might have immediately suspected what he was up to.

However, in front of Cheng Jiandong, Zhou Jiye could only repeatedly say yes, that it was his oversight. Seeing how sensible he was, and having passed the previous test, Cheng Jiandong no longer had the idea of ​​restricting Zhou Jiye's actions. Besides, once you're on a pirate ship, it's not so easy to get off. Everyone is on the same boat, and Zhou Jiye can no longer betray him.

With that in mind, Cheng Jiandong readily agreed to Zhou Jiye's request, allowing him to go out for a walk alone. However, considering that Zhou Jiye was unfamiliar with Hong Kong, he suggested that Zhou Jiye ask Liangzai Jun for directions before going out, and it would be best if Liangzai Jun could show him around the area first, to avoid Zhou Jiye wandering around alone and causing trouble.

Zhou Jiye readily agreed, saying he would ask Liangzai Jun later to accompany him on a phone call or something. Cheng Jiandong smiled and readily agreed, waving Zhou Jiye away.
