A man in Handong: living off Zhong Xiaoai

A roadside barbecue stall in Jingzhou City, Handong Province.

Chicken took a sip of beer and glanced at Chan Ho-nam beside him.

"Brother Nan, have you heard? Zheng Jindong is coming tomorrow!"

At this moment, the pheasant's cousin's eyes widened.

"Cousin, what real Ji Gong? Is a living Buddha coming to Jingzhou tomorrow?"

Upon hearing what his cousin Shanji said, Han Bin patted Shanji on the shoulder.

"It's not the real Ji Gong anymore, it's Zheng Jindong!"

It seems that the pheasant's cousin still didn't understand.

He realized that everyone present seemed to know about this so-called "True Ji Gong" except for himself, so why was he the only one who didn't know?

"What exactly is the real Ji Gong?"

Seeing his cousin's persistence, Shanji shook his head helplessly.

"There is no real Ji Gong. It's the eldest son of the Zheng family in Kyoto, named Zheng Jindong. He was even betrothed to Governor Qi's wife when they were children!"

Shanji's cousin had heard that the reason why this Governor Qi was able to wield such power was entirely because he had a very capable wife at home.

Now, his wife's childhood betrothal party has come knocking on his door, how can this be allowed?

"What should we do then? Won't Governor Qi be in big trouble?"

Chicken felt that his cousin knew nothing and was too unprofessional in saying anything.

"Governor Qi and his wife have a very good relationship. They're inseparable, 24 hours a day. They admire and love each other, and their affection is incredible."

Shanji's cousin thought what Shanji said was exaggerated, since he knew that Governor Qi was particularly fond of driving.

Ding Yao, who had recruited Lei Fuhong and his son, also took in Little Stutterer from the Hung Hing faction.

There's also a big star named Yang Mi in the villa. These are the things I know, but who knows how many more I don't know about her.

He loves his wife so much, but could his wife love him that much? It's highly unlikely!

"Cousin, I've noticed you're getting more and more exaggerated these days. Are you filming a movie, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai?"

Chen Haonan knew that most people would find it hard to believe, but now Governor Qi and his wife were indeed inseparable.

I heard that Governor Qi stood up the entire team for his wife.

I didn't even attend the scheduled meeting.

That's why the position of deputy director of the provincial department is still vacant.

Furthermore, since Zhang Lei's arrest, no one has taken up the post of head of the Narcotics Control Brigade.

"These are not the main points. The main point is that I heard some bad news in Hong Kong."

Upon hearing this, the pheasant exclaimed, "What the hell is going on?"

What does it have to do with those scoundrels in Hong Kong that Governor Qi's love rival is coming to Jingzhou?

What bad news could there be in Hong Kong that could be related to Zheng Jindong?

"Any news from Hong Kong?"

Chan Ho-nam picked up his glass and took a sip of wine.

"I heard that the people of Tung Sing also wanted to learn from Hung Hing and find resources in the mainland to develop their own power. But they knew that Governor Qi was Hung Hing's backer, so they were looking for a backer whose power was comparable to Governor Qi's. Later, I don't know where they found out that Cheng Kam-tung was coming to Handong, and Tung Sing has already sent Crow to Jingzhou to prepare to contact Cheng Kam-tung."

Han Bin's face turned grim upon hearing the news.

Han Bin knew about this crow; he, Lei Yaoyang, Situ Haonan, Wu Zhiwei, and Kele were known as the Five Tigers of Tung Sing.

Back when Han Bin was still with Hung Hing, he also suffered a lot from these bamboo shoots.

"Does finding Zheng Jindong really make a difference? Don't forget that these businesses were all started by Governor Qi himself. Does Zheng Jindong have the ability to create these businesses?"

Chen Haonan was certainly aware of what Han Bin was talking about. In the past, Governor Qi would directly ask those who were involved in the same industry as him to leave.

For example, Li Zhitian wanted to get involved in e-commerce, but ended up in a mental hospital, half-human and half-demon.

However, Zheng Jindong might not be an easy target after he arrives. It's very possible that he won't even consider any business opportunities and will simply copy and imitate Governor Qi's ideas.

If he really does that, I wonder what Governor Qi will do then.

"It's always good to be cautious in everything we do. In short, the crows of Dongxing have already arrived in Jingzhou ahead of time to find a time to meet with Zheng Jindong, which is not good news for us."

After hearing what Chan Ho-nam said, Chicken knew that Handong might be facing a great catastrophe.

Zheng Jindong volunteered to come to Handong, certainly not to have dinner with Governor Qi and make friends.

... ... 0

He wanted to prove himself in front of Governor Qi's wife, so he would confront Governor Qi in every way.

This involves not only high-ranking officials in Handong, but also market layouts, and forces like Hung Hing and the San Lian Gang, with whom there is a transfer of benefits, all of which will engage in various forms of competition.

"Let's live for today, for who knows what tomorrow will bring."

Although Shanji's cousin didn't understand, he clearly heard that this person was not the real Ji Gong, but Zheng Jindong.

It seems like Zheng Jindong is a difficult person to deal with, and he might cause trouble for the current peace in Handong.

"Why be so pessimistic? Governor Qi isn't fighting alone; he still has us, right? At worst, we'll just have someone take care of Zheng Jindong once he arrives in Jingzhou! That way, everything will be settled, and everyone can relax!"

After hearing what Chicken's cousin said, Chan Ho-nam smiled and shook his head.

Cousin Shanji still thinks like a gangster and guild, and he likes fighting and killing.

However, many problems in this world cannot be solved with fists.

"It's not that simple. Besides, Zheng Jindong has a father who, while not as powerful as Governor Qi's father-in-law, is still considered top-tier."

Upon hearing this, the pheasant suddenly stood up.

"So, don't be so indecisive! You never know what tomorrow will bring! Who could have predicted that someone like Zheng Jindong would suddenly appear? So, enjoy life! I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm going home to learn a foreign language, so I won't regret it later when I'm gone!"

Chapter 256 Who Rules Handong?

Without waiting to hear what the others were thinking, the pheasant walked away.

Chan Ho-nam watched Chicken leave, then shook his head with a smile.

"However, I've already had someone keep an eye on Crow. If he makes any move in Jingzhou, I'll immediately have him arrested."

Han Bin nodded.

"Today marks the last moment of peace in Handong Province."

When Shanji's cousin heard this, he also stood up.

"Since that's the case, then I'll do what my cousin did: live for the moment and learn a foreign language!"

After Chicken's cousin left, Chan Ho-nam smiled.

"In that case, I'll go back and rest too."

When Han Bin saw that Chen Haonan was also leaving, he became very nervous.

"Hey! Haonan, what do you mean? Are you going to learn a foreign language too?"

Han Bin certainly didn't care whether Chen Haonan went to learn "460" foreign language; he was afraid of being the last one left to pay the bill.

Back in Hong Kong, whenever this happened, Han Bin would call Thirteen Sister over to pay the bill.

Now that I'm in Jingzhou, is there anyone who might come and pay for my bill?

However, Chan Ho-nam did not understand Han Bin's good intentions. Of course, Chan Ho-nam did not skip out on the bill.

He just felt that since they were all brothers, it didn't matter who paid the bill.

"I'm not studying foreign languages. I need to go back and rest. Zheng Jindong will be arriving in Handong early tomorrow morning. I wonder what instructions Governor Qi will give, so you need to be well-rested. Your Department of Justice might also have some tasks to complete, so you should go back and rest too."

After saying that, Chan Ho-nam smiled slightly and turned to leave.

Han Bin's heart was bleeding like hell!

Damn, you make it sound so nice, but I'm still the one who ends up paying the bill?

"Boss, the bill's due!"

After a while, the owner of the barbecue stall came over.

"Sir, the total is eight hundred and eighty-eight dollars and eighty-seven cents. I'll round it down to eight hundred and eighty-eight."

Han Bin immediately became unhappy upon hearing this.

"What? You want 888 yuan for a lousy roadside stall? And you're going to round it down to zero?"

The boss smiled sheepishly.

"Sir, here is the bill. Would you like to take a look?"

Others might not even look at it, just hand it in and leave.

However, Han Bin insisted on taking the bill and examining it carefully.

Han Bin wasn't satisfied with just looking; he opened his phone's calculator and typed away for a long time.

"Holy crap, it really is 818.87 yuan."

Han Bin glanced at his boss beside him; he couldn't refuse to pay.

There was no other way but to pay.

Just as the boss received the money and was about to leave, Han Bin suddenly spoke.

"Get me some takeout containers, please pack them up for me!"

When the boss saw that there wasn't much food left on the table, he gave an awkward laugh.

"There's not much left, do you still need to pack it up?"

Han Bin was displeased upon hearing this. He had paid for these himself, so why not pack them up?

"The Clean Plate Campaign! I love responding to calls to action; I've been a model citizen since I was a child!"

Upon hearing this, the boss smiled and nodded.
