Hong Kong variety show: I'm actually the villain Kwan Cho!

Hong Kong Island, Wan Chai

Inside the Hong Kong Police Headquarters building.

When Guan Zu entered one of the meeting rooms, he looked around at the familiar yet unfamiliar place.

The gears of fate had already begun to turn. If I hadn't changed my destiny, this place would have been the very place I later destroyed with my own time bomb.

This place is safe now, since there aren't many people as crazy as me who would come here to bomb the police headquarters for no reason!

"Ah Zu, you can just stay here. We don't need to take your statement. We've told you to wait here!"

Su Jianqiu brought Guan Zu in, gave him some instructions, and then went off to do his work.

After all, with such a big case as the "Eight-Faced Buddha," the Flying Tigers were mobilized, the Marine Police were deployed, so many shots were fired, and so many people died at the scene. Let alone evidence, the report would take a long time to write.

After watching Su Jianqiu leave, Guan Zu looked around the room and casually found a seat. Recalling Su Jianqiu's words, he figured the owner of the mysterious phone call would show up soon, wondering if it was the guy he was guessing.

After all, the police force only has a few people assigned to both civilian and military roles.

Just as Guan Zu and the others were starting to doze off, a man wearing a white shirt with a bauhinia flower and a wreath of ears of grain on his rank insignia—exactly the same as the one on his cheap old man's shoulder! Wearing gold-rimmed glasses and with a face that looked just like Tony Leung Ka-fai, the man's identity was obvious.

Li Wenbin, the current head of the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB), a chief superintendent, and the future deputy commissioner of police!

"Hello, Uncle Li!" Guan Zu quickly stood up to greet Li Wenbin as he entered, behaving like a well-behaved young man!

"Ah Zu, sit down! It's been years since we last met!" Li Wenbin invited Guan Zu to sit down.

Guan Zu nodded: "Yes, I haven't seen you since I went abroad to study, it's been more than two years!"

"You did a great job in that hostage situation in Central last time, you were very smart! From the moment I saw the report, I knew you should be a policeman!" Li Wenbin sat in his chair and shook the folder in his hand.

"So you called me that number?" In Guan Zu's mind, the primary suspect for the owner of that mysterious phone call was Li Wenbin.

Li Wenbin opened the folder in his hand: "Yes, I made the call. I wanted to see what you could do. I didn't expect you to be so capable!" As he spoke, he looked up at Guan Zu, his eyes full of admiration!

Guan Zu smiled and said, "Uncle Li, there should be more than that!"

Li Wenbin raised an eyebrow: "Is your relationship with your father still the same?"

Guan Zu couldn't help but snort coldly: "Hmph, still the same. Uncle, you know he's always looked down on me."

As he spoke, Guan Zu's eyes narrowed as he stared at Li Wenbin opposite him: "So you want to use me? You want to use my father-son relationship with him to attack him and his, um, faction?"

Li Wenbin's admiration deepened: "On one hand!" He closed the folder in his hand, stood up, walked to the window, and turned his back to Guan Zu: "You must have gotten the order wrong. I was impressed by your personal abilities first, and then I noticed your background. I know about your relationship with your father. Helping you is also helping myself. To be honest, the two are not contradictory."

"What do I need to give in return?" Guan Zu asked curiously.

"What will you give in return?" Li Wenbin turned around: "Promise me you'll be a policeman and do your job well! Promotion and a raise!"

Guan Zu looked up at Li Wenbin: "Why me?"

Li Wenbin patted Guan Zu on the shoulder and sat down next to him. "You know, my family is also a police family! My father was a policeman during Lei Luo's time. In their era, corruption was rampant in the police force, and positions were bought with money! So he thought that my normal job, honestly catching thieves, had no future! So I wanted to prove him right! And I did it!"

He turned to look at Guan Zu: "Now, do you know why it was you?"

Guan Zu stood up and stared at Li Wenbin: "Yes, sir!"

Li Wenbin seemed very pleased to hear the title "sir".

He stood up with a smile: "Alright, go back and wait for our notification. Report to the 'O-Division' when the time comes!" He then turned and left.

Guan Zu called out to Li Wenbin's retreating figure, "Uncle! Thank you!"

Li Wenbin didn't turn around, but raised the folder and waved it.

After watching Li Wenbin leave, Guan Zu slowly walked out of the conference room.

Unexpectedly, I ran into an acquaintance: "Chan Kwok-wing".

"Inspector Chan!" Kwan Cho called out.

Chen Guorong turned around: "Ah Zu? What are you doing here?"

"Ah Zu!" Before Guan Zu could answer, another voice came from the side.

Guan Zu turned around and saw Su Jianqiu walking over with a stack of documents.

"Sir!" Chen Guorong greeted Su Jianqiu.

Su Jianqiu nodded simply, then asked Guan Zu, "Have you seen the person? What were the arrangements?"

Guan Zu glanced at the two men's expressions and thought, "Sure enough, no matter who you are, a higher rank can crush you!"

No matter how good a fighter you are, or how super cop you are, even a senior inspector has to stand at attention and call out "sir!" when he sees a superintendent.

"We've seen the person; we'll let you know the specific arrangements later!" After answering Su Jianqiu's question, Guan Zu turned to Chen Guorong and said, "Inspector Chen, why aren't you staying in your West Kowloon? What are you doing here?"

Chen Guorong was puzzled by Su Jianqiu's apparent familiarity with Guan Zu when he heard Guan Zu's words. He glanced at Su Jianqiu and said, "I'm here to see Inspector Su. There's a case I need to discuss with him!"

Su Jianqiu was taken aback, then slapped his forehead: "Sorry, Rong, I've been so busy lately, I almost forgot about your case. Shall we talk in my office?"

"Okay, sir!" Chan Kwok-wing then looked at Kwan Cho: "Cho, I...!"

Guan Zu knew they were all very busy people, so he didn't waste any words: "Alright, you guys go ahead and get busy, I'm leaving now! Bye-bye!" After saying that, he made a waving gesture and turned to leave.

Chan Kwok-wing watched Kwan Cho's retreating figure: "Inspector So, you and Ah Cho?"

"We worked on a case together, thanks to Ah Zu! Alright, let's not talk about this anymore, you'll find out when the time comes. Come on, let's go to my office!" After saying that, Su Jianqiu walked towards the office.

Chen Guorong wasn't a gossipy person, so he didn't ask any more questions and quickly followed along; business was more important!

After bidding farewell to the two, Guan Zu strolled leisurely towards the outside of the headquarters building.

I'm thinking of getting together with three of my best buddies to go somewhere and have some fun! After all, today was pretty eventful! Shouldn't I brag about it to my friends?

Lost in thought, I walked to the entrance of the headquarters building, when suddenly, without warning, I let out a scream: "Ah!"

Guan Zu was bumped into, but he was fine. However, the person who bumped into him was in trouble. Who knew that this guy had such a stable chassis?

Guan Zu looked at the person he had knocked to the ground; it was a girl wearing a white T-shirt and jeans.

Wait, something's not right? I almost thought I was seeing things. But looking closely, it's definitely Fan Bingbing!

Without thinking twice, he quickly stepped forward and helped the woman up: "Miss, are you alright?"

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to."

The girl who had fallen was helped up by Guan Zu. When she looked up at Guan Zu's chiseled profile, her face flushed red.

He kept his head down, not daring to look at Guan Zu, and just kept apologizing.

Hearing the other person's slightly accented Cantonese, Guan Zu smiled and said, "It's alright, it's alright. You just came from the mainland?"

"Ah! Oh, yes!" The girl thought Guan Zu looked down on her, and her impression of the handsome man in front of her instantly plummeted!

He answered and turned to leave, but after taking only two steps, a piercing pain shot through his ankle, almost causing him to lose his balance. He forced himself to keep from crying out!

Guan Zu immediately realized she had misunderstood, so he quickly stepped forward, helped her up, and said in fluent Beijing dialect, "Are you alright? You must have sprained your ankle; you'd better not walk!"

The girl was overjoyed to hear a familiar accent and forgot all about the pain in her ankle: "Are you from the mainland too?"

Guan Zu helped the girl slowly walk to a seat next to him, saying, "I'm not!"

"Then how come your Mandarin is so good!" the girl asked curiously. In her impression, there were hardly any people from Hong Kong Island who spoke good Mandarin.

"Oh, you mean that? When I was studying in the US, I had a few really good friends from Beijing! I learned it from them!" Guan Zu said, but in his heart he kept thinking, "These guys spent so many years in Beijing in their past lives, what's a little bit of Beijing accent to them!"

As he spoke, he walked to a chair nearby, and Guan Zu helped the girl sit down slowly before asking, "Excuse me, my name is Guan Zu. May I ask your name?"

The girl blushed under Guan Zu's gaze, unsure of what to do with her hands: "Oh, my name is Qiu Di!"

Upon hearing the name, Guan Zu exclaimed "Oh!" and then squatted down to examine Qiu Di's ankle, thinking to himself, "Sure enough, no wonder she looks so much like me!"

He gently squeezed Qiu Di's fair ankle, then looked up at her and said, "It's alright, no bones are broken. She'll be fine after a couple of days of rest!"

"Oh!" Qiu Di almost ripped her white T-shirt to shreds with both hands!

"You can't walk like this! Let me take you home!"

"oh!"

Guan Zu helped Qiu Di walk a few steps.

"You can't do this, let me carry you on my back!"

"oh!"

And so, the two guys, who had only known each other for less than five minutes, carried each other step by step as they walked out.

Is this the legendary attraction between handsome men and beautiful women?

Bah! It's all just lust at first sight!
