I practiced my spirituality alone in Hong Kong.

Shek Tong Tsui, Sai Wan, Hong Kong Island.

Li Changning carried the trash bag downstairs. Just as he reached the door, he heard a gentle female voice coming from behind him:

"Changning?"

Li Changning turned around and said in surprise:

"Aunt Liu? What are you doing here?"

Liu Wanyi, carrying a bag of fruit, said softly:

"I just happened to be passing by and wanted to see you and Chang'an, and also talk to Chang'an about something..."

"My brother isn't home. He went out after he finished eating," Li Changning replied.

Liu Wanyi asked, "Can I wait for him at your house? It won't take too long."

Li Changning remained silent for a moment, then nodded.

"Aunt Liu, I'm going to throw out the trash at the street corner. The door upstairs isn't closed, so you can go in first."

Liu Wanyi then smiled and nodded.

She walked into the old tenement building, went up to the fifth floor, and sure enough, saw a half-open door, from which she could hear the sound of a television.

"Clues are hidden in the details; the killer definitely won't escape!"

Liu Wanyi recognized the line as a line from the recently popular Hong Kong detective drama "CID Criminal Investigation Team," a series she had even watched at home.

Something just doesn't feel right...

Xingning clearly told me that Chang'an is having a hard time right now, so why does he have a TV at home?

Could it have been left by the landlord in Chang'an?

She hesitated for a moment, then gently pushed the door open.

Liu Wanyi saw a pretty girl with a high ponytail sitting on the sofa in a duck-like position in the living room.

She was holding a large pomelo in her hand, watching TV while munching on it.

But Liu Wanyi's sudden entrance also startled her.

The girl, with several grapefruit seeds stuck to the corners of her mouth, stared blankly at the suddenly appearing Liu Wanyi.

"Who...are you?"

Liu Wanyi was also a little embarrassed, and she subconsciously glanced into the room.

There's a refrigerator and a washing machine in the house, and a telephone is placed by the door.

Liu Wanyi came to her senses and realized that even if the landlord was generous, it was impossible for him to leave Li Chang'an with so many appliances.

Xingning must have given me the wrong address, causing me to go to the wrong place!

I'll teach that girl a lesson later!

"Excuse me, little sister, I think I've come to the wrong house. Do you know where Li Chang'an's house is?"

Is this woman here to see Brother Chang'an?

When Li Chang'an was mentioned, Xiao Tang's intelligence once again took over. She sat up straight and looked at Liu Wanyi warily.

"Clues are hidden in the details!"

The sound of a detective drama playing nearby made Ruan Xiaotang's brain work quickly as she began to deduce the truth.

This woman was dressed elegantly and sophisticatedly; she was clearly not from Shek Tong Tsui, but an outsider.

Furthermore, as a woman, it's unlikely she came to Chang'an Ge to collect a debt. Also, she spoke Chang'an Ge's name affectionately, and she's carrying a bag of fruit...

Ruan Xiaotang raised her finger, adjusted the non-existent glasses on her pert nose, and said confidently:

"Are you a distant relative of Brother Chang'an?"

Liu Wanyi was startled by Ruan Xiaotang's sudden, decisive voice. She thought to herself that this little girl was quite lively...

"Well... I am indeed an old friend of Chang'an's parents, and I watched him grow up."

Ruan Xiaotang nodded in satisfaction, thinking to herself that Brother Chang'an always thought he was not smart, he really had no vision and did not see that she had the potential to become a great detective!

Just then, the door behind me was pushed open again.

Li Changning returned after taking out the trash. As soon as he entered, he saw Aunt Liu staring blankly at Ruan Xiaotang. He quickly said:

"Aunt Liu, this is Xiaotang, the girl from our landlord's house next door."

"Changning, this really feels like your home."

"yes."

"Oh, I thought I'd gone to the wrong door..."

Liu Wanyi then sat down and placed the fruit she had brought on the table.

"Hello Xiaotang, I've washed these fruits. Feel free to take some if you want. Changning, you can have some too."

"Thank you, Auntie."

Ruan Xiaotang happily ate the lychees and apples that Liu Wanyi had brought her.

After Li Changning led Liu Wanyi and his parents to offer incense, they got down to business.

"Aunt Liu, what brings you to see my brother this time? Please tell me what it is."

"Well, I was just thinking of asking you to persuade your brother... You know, Chang'an is stubborn and doesn't want me and your Uncle Su to raise you and your two siblings."

I understand how he feels, so I won't force him.

But I was thinking that if Chang'an didn't get into university this year and didn't want to retake the exam, I should at least help him find a decent job.

A friend of mine opened a tutoring school and is looking for teachers. Chang'an had excellent grades in middle school, so we could let him try it out. If he can get a teaching certificate later, he can become a teacher.

After all, spending all day as an extra in the stunt department is tiring and undignified, and you encounter all sorts of people from all walks of life, so it would be troublesome if you picked up bad habits.

Moreover, Hong Kong kung fu movies are no longer popular, so how could the kung fu movies that Chang'an is making now be successful?

It's definitely a piece of junk film used for money laundering; doing this is never a sustainable business.

"Yes, I'll tell my brother..."

Li Changning did not comment on Liu Wanyi's words, only saying that he would pass them on.

The two chatted for a while longer before Li Changning got up and saw her off.

Ruan Xiaotang said to Li Changning, who had returned:

"Why does your relative speak so rudely? What's wrong with Brother Chang'an going to the martial arts world?"

He bought the TV, washing machine, refrigerator, and telephone for the house. The uncles and aunties in the building really admire him.

"Chang'an-ge might even be on TV and become a big star in the future!"

Ruan Xiaotang was very unhappy that others looked down on Li Chang'an. If it weren't for the fact that the lychees Liu Wanyi sent were really sweet, she would have definitely had a good talk with her.

……

……

A luxury apartment building in Central, Hong Kong Island.

Liu Wanyi took the elevator home.

In the living room, a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses sat on a dark brown leather sofa, reading a newspaper.

Upon seeing Liu Wanyi return, Su Chichuan asked:

"How is it?"

"Chang'an isn't home. I told Changning about introducing him to a job, but Changning doesn't seem very interested. I doubt he'll really try to persuade Chang'an."

"Besides, I saw that they have a lot more appliances at home. Chang'an is really capable and has made a lot of money. He probably has no chance of agreeing."

Su Chichuan raised his hand and rubbed his temples.

"A year ago, when Li Chang'an was going through the most difficult time with Changning and Changyue, he refused our help. Now that he has made steady progress, how could he possibly accept our help?"

"Let's just leave it at that. Don't bother them anymore. We've done everything we could."

Liu Wanyi snorted coldly.

"How dare you say that? If it weren't for what you did, would those kids in the Li family treat us like this?"

Besides, don't tell me this, go tell your daughter.

If you're so capable, tell Su Xingning to stop hanging herself on Li Chang'an!

Now your daughter is being looked down upon because of you, her parent. Let's see how you handle this!

If Xingning finds out about the bad things you did in the past that are causing Li Chang'an to ignore her now, she'll definitely sever all ties with you!
