"Stop messing around, brother! Get me out of here right now! Xi Xian has gone missing. I need to go find her right away. I'm afraid she might be in danger."

Wang Taiyi looked at Jimmy strangely.

"You want me to make this trip myself for such a trivial matter?"

Jimmy manages most of Wang Taiyi's businesses, and his current status is far from such that even bail requires his intervention.

"Brother, stop playing around. I just found out that Xi Xian's father is Huo Jingliang. He said I imprisoned his daughter and made the police refuse my bail. You need to think of something quickly."

"Huo Jingliang?"

"Yes, it's him. I didn't expect it either."

Huo Jingliang is the second villain in "At the Threshold of an Era". All his scenes combined may not even be in the top five, but he is definitely the most charismatic character.

When you first meet Huo Jingliang, you might think, "Why is this guy so annoying?" But once you mature, you'll find that he's incredibly attractive. He's sarcastic but never swears, and every word he says is true. He's very sophisticated and full of memorable quotes.

I absolutely have to meet this person.

"Okay, this is the director's office, right? You wait here, I'll go and meet him."

Before even entering the door, I heard a strong, sharp male voice.

"Old Huang, I don't care, you must immediately send out all police forces to search for my daughter."

"What 24 hours? Rules are for those beasts of burden. Am I a beast of burden? I may not be the one who makes the rules, but I enjoy them. If you can't do it, I'll call the police. I don't want to make things difficult for you. You figure it out!"

"And that Jimmy guy, give me a reason to send him to Stanley. I don't want to see such a scoundrel again. A little hoodlum with a few bucks actually dares to try and seduce my daughter. He's just asking for trouble."

Yes, that's the taste.

Wang Taiyi pushed open the door and entered.

Inside the office, Superintendent Huang, the police chief, sat behind his desk with a worried expression, while Huo Jingliang sat opposite him, smoking and puffing on his cigarette, with two henchmen standing behind him.

Wang Taiyi went straight in, walked to the sofa against the wall, sat down, crossed his legs, and observed the tycoon's demeanor up close.

Superintendent Huang frowned and looked at Wang Taiyi without saying a word.

"Bah!"

Wang Taiyi lit a cigarette and held it up with one hand in a gesture of respect.

"Go on, don't worry about me."

Huo Jingliang frowned, turned around and scanned Wang Taiyi up and down, then paused when he saw the jade lighter in Old Wang's hand.

"Young man, you have good taste. If you're trying to curry favor with me, you've come at the wrong time. I'm in a bad mood right now, and you'd better get out of my sight immediately!"

"Not bad."

Huo Jingliang felt uncomfortable with the way Wang Taiyi looked at him. He felt that was the kind of look he usually gave to those clowns, which annoyed him.

"God bless!"

Upon hearing this, Huo Jingliang's two henchmen immediately came over and were about to throw Wang Taiyi out.

"Snapped!"

"what!"

Wang Taiyi flicked his finger, and the cigarette hit Tianyou squarely on the forehead like a bullet. The force of Wang Taiyi's flick of the cigarette butt was no less than that of an adult hitting Tianyou on the head with a rock.

Tianyou clutched his head and fell to the ground screaming in agony, while his other henchman dared not move. Was this qigong?

"Wang Taiyi, what do you think you're doing? This is a police station, you can't act recklessly here!"

Huo Jingliang was also taken aback by Wang Taiyi's sudden move and looked at Superintendent Huang.

"Old Huang, who is he?"

Wang Taiyi came up behind Huo Jingliang and placed his hands on his shoulders.

"Mr. Huo, my name is Wang Taiyi, and I am the boss of the Shuai Group. Jimmy is my subordinate, and I am also a member of Hongxing. You know Hongxing, right? Now, can you talk to me properly?"

“Yes…yes!”

Huo Jingliang is quite an oddball. He's a tycoon who's fearless and doesn't care about anything, including being the richest man in Hong Kong or government officials. He's never submitted to anyone, but he's terrified of the triads.

Do you think it's funny?

He went to Taiwan to discuss business with someone who had a triad background. He was slapped in the face so blatantly that he dared not speak out and did not seek revenge afterward.

So when they heard that Wang Taiyi had a triad background, they immediately became a little scared.

"Sit down and speak properly."

Superintendent Wong suddenly became assertive again.

"We're all trying to solve the same problem, so let's not make a big fuss."

Superintendent Wong knew Wang Taiyi's background, so they were acquainted.

Old Wang, who gradually transformed from a gangster into a wealthy man, was someone he was keeping an eye on. If he could find evidence of Old Wang's crimes before Old Wang became a wealthy man like Huo Jingliang, he would not hesitate to arrest Old Wang.

Superintendent Wong had Jimmy brought out and recounted in detail the events surrounding his girlfriend's disappearance.

Jimmy and Huo Xixian met through work; Huo Xixian is a lawyer, and Jimmy fell in love at first sight while providing legal advice.

Then came all sorts of relentless pursuit. Huo Xixian, who had always been a well-behaved girl, had never seen Jimmy pursue girls in such a shameless way.

After they got to know each other better, they discovered that Jimmy was very ambitious and had ideals. In addition, Jimmy looked a lot like her idol, Raku Furuta. So in the end, the rich heiress was won over by this lucky guy, Jimmy.

Yesterday, Huo Xixian appeared in court as a defense lawyer for the first time and won the case. The two celebrated at home, and after a few rounds of drinks, the atmosphere was just right, so the young couple started playing... games.

The two started playing role-playing games.

Huo Xixian plays Justitia, the goddess of justice. The goddess of justice is a blindfolded woman, so she uses a blindfold tied to her head as an eye mask and carries a wine bottle as a sword.

Jimmy's portrayal is more localized; he plays a naked version of Yang Guo, wearing only underwear to give these Western gods a shock.

The two got more and more into the game, and the more they drank, the more Jimmy remembered his girlfriend hitting him on the head with a bottle of alcohol after he had drunk too much.

When he woke up, his girlfriend was nowhere to be found. He grabbed the bra she had left behind and haphazardly wiped the scabbed, itchy wound on his forehead, wincing in pain. Just then, Huo Jingliang burst in.

Huo Jingliang looked around at the scene: naked man! Bra! Bloodstains! Then he flew into a rage, beat Jimmy up, and took him to the police station.

Huo Jingliang stated that his daughter never stayed out all night. He and her mother were anxious all night, and when their daughter still hadn't returned by dawn, Huo Jingliang used his connections to find out that his daughter had been dating a blond-haired man!

When Huo Jingliang arrived at Jimmy's house with her men, the front door was open. She saw her daughter's bag scattered at the door. As soon as she entered, she saw a dark-skinned boy holding a mask with a lewd expression. The house was a mess, as if it had been robbed.

Huo Jingliang's mind immediately flashed through all sorts of bizarre cases, so he arrested Jimmy without listening to his explanation.

Chapter 46 Farce

After analyzing the situation, the group concluded that Huo Xixian had simply drunk too much and run away, and it had nothing to do with Jimmy.

"Alright, Lao Huo, this is just a misunderstanding. My niece just got drunk and ran away. Maybe she's sleeping in a hotel right now. She'll be fine once she sobers up."

Superintendent Wong offered his assessment: being drunk is normal. He had previously woken up drunk and found himself in a strange woman's bed, which was perfectly normal. Only his wife didn't believe him.

"That won't do either. What if Xixian doesn't go to the hotel and catches a cold sleeping on the roadside?" Huo Jingliang was still very concerned about his daughter.

At that moment, a faint voice rang out.

"Catching a cold is fine, but if some homeless person picks you up, then..."

The group shuddered as they looked at Wang Taiyi, who was smoking a cigar he had taken from Huo Jingliang. They thought he probably wouldn't be that unlucky.

"It's not a big deal if you get picked up by a homeless person, but it's scary if you get picked up by a thug. You know, thugs always go around in groups."

Jimmy was about to break down. "Big brother, please stop talking."

Old Wang exhaled a puff of smoke.

"Okay, hopefully I'm just overthinking it, but I read in the newspaper the other day that a drunk man fell into a sewer with a stolen manhole cover and died..."

"Oh!"

Huo Jingliang slammed his hand on the table.

"Find them, we have to find them now! Lao Huang, you need to arrange for people to join us!"

Superintendent Wong started looking worried again. He's just a lowly superintendent, please don't make things difficult for me, boss.

"Old Huo, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that we really can't break the rules. If I help you now, I'll be investigated and dismissed tomorrow. You don't want to see that happen, do you?"

"So what if you're dismissed?"

Huo Jingliang's finger was almost poking Superintendent Huang's face.

“You’d better do this for me right now. You’re just a superintendent, you only make a few hundred thousand a year. If you help me find my daughter, I’ll let you be the security manager at my company. I’ll give you two million.”

Wang Taiyi watched as the two argued and shifted blame, while Jimmy made a phone call to find someone.

"Alright, Lao Huo, don't make things difficult for Lao Huang."

Wang Taiyi patted Huo Jingliang on the shoulder, thus helping Superintendent Huang out of a tight spot.

Old Huo? Huo Jingliang was about to scold Old Wang for being arrogant and daring to be on equal footing with him, but when he thought of the man's skills and gang background, he swallowed his words and just glared at Old Wang.

"Don't delay my search for my daughter."
