A man in Handong: living off Zhong Xiaoai

That's right. It's been so many years. His older brother has been waiting for a chance to rise in rank. After waiting for so long, he has finally gotten his chance.

Guan Hongfeng was surprised that Qi Tongwei still remembered him. How long had it been since that sensational case?

Everyone involved in the case who was eligible for promotion was promoted by Qi Tongwei.

He never expected that Qi Tongwei would think of him again so many years after the case ended.

Back then, Zhou Shutong and I went with Wu Zongzhi to report to Qi Tongwei. Wu Zongzhi was the leader of the unit, and his visit was purely a routine matter.

As for himself and Zhou Shutong, one was transferred to the provincial department, and the other was his younger brother who was assigned to the provincial department.

At the time, I didn't think much of it; I just felt that it was a show of care from the provincial leaders for the cadres of our municipal bureau.

Who would have thought that after solving the case, his superiors would remember that he had a younger brother?

But as time went on, that feeling in my heart slowly changed.

He solved the case himself, and all the credit should have been his, but in the end, his younger brother received the reward.

I wouldn't have cared about it at first, but over the years, I've been stuck in the same position as a section chief.

Gradually, I finally began to question it.

Why should it be like in ancient times, you won a battle, why should the credit be given to your younger brother?

Fortunately, after so many years, he finally received the news that Qi Tongwei had finally remembered him.

Thinking of this, Guan Hongfeng came to his younger brother Guan Hongyu and excitedly placed his hands on Guan Hongyu's shoulders.

"You've come all the way back from Jingzhou, how can you just eat a bowl of instant noodles? No way! My brother's back, I have to cook you a good meal so you can see if my cooking skills as your older brother have improved!"

As he spoke, Guan Hongfeng immediately put on an apron and walked towards the kitchen with a smile on his face.

"Little brother, do you still like fried chicken? I'll make it for you!"

Then, Guan Hongfeng went to the refrigerator and opened it.

"I just went to the supermarket today and bought some chicken legs and breadcrumbs!"

Guan Hongyu looked at Guan Hongfeng, who was diligently preparing dinner for him, and couldn't help but smile.

It had been so long since the two brothers had enjoyed a meal and chatted together so happily.

In an instant, Guan Hongyu understood his brother. Over the years, he had been too cautious around Qi Tongwei and had never dared to mention his brother, which had wronged him.

"I haven't eaten fried chicken much for many years. Now I just eat whatever's available, just a quick bite to fill my stomach."

Listening to his younger brother Guan Hongyu's words, Guan Hongfeng knew that his brother had changed.

Even Gao Yanan and Zhou Xun have gotten married and started new chapters in their lives. Only I have remained unchanged all these years, still stuck in the past and unable to move on from the people and events of the past.

Yes, Guan Hongfeng understood very well that the younger brother in front of him was no longer the somewhat immature Guan Hongyu who used to follow him around in everything.

He has long since grown into a capable leader of a provincial bureau in Handong Province.

"If you haven't craved fried chicken all these years, it's not because your taste has changed, it's because you haven't had good fried chicken!"

As Guan Hongfeng spoke, he diligently helped his younger brother prepare.

"Once you've tasted my fried chicken, you'll immediately understand why you used to like it in the first place."

Seeing his brother Guan Hongfeng busy, Guan Hongyu smiled.

"Okay, if you've made so much and it doesn't taste good, you can eat it all yourself later."

Chapter 492 You Became Her Private Car Driver?

Guan Hongfeng smiled when he heard his younger brother say that.

"It will definitely taste delicious. My cooking skills are Michelin level."

As he spoke, Guan Hongfeng turned around and glanced at his younger brother, Guan Hongyu.

"The kid next door was so hungry when he smelled the fried chicken we were making one year! He kept telling his mom that he wanted to eat fried chicken too, the kind that the uncle next door makes!"

After hearing Guan Hongfeng's words, Guan Hongyu smiled and sat down on his brother's sofa.

At this moment, Guan Hongfeng, who was preparing the meal, asked again.

"Brother, has Governor Qi said when he wants to see me?"

Guan Hongyu said this while sitting on the sofa and looking at the African lungfish his brother was raising in the fish tank.

"As soon as possible, I plan to take you back to Jingzhou first thing tomorrow morning. Settle things in Jingzhou for a while, and then find a suitable time to meet Governor Qi."

Guan Hongfeng was overjoyed to hear his younger brother's words, because his fate was about to change. He would finally no longer have to stay in the Jinhai City Police Station every day, staring blankly at Zhou Xun and his gang of hopeless people.

Thinking of this, Guan Hongfeng suddenly remembered someone.

"By the way, little brother, how's Zhou Shutong doing these days? Should we treat her to a meal after we get to Jingzhou?"

Guan Hongyu's expression changed slightly after hearing his older brother Guan Hongfeng call out Zhou Shutong's name.

Having served as Qi Tongwei's secretary for so long, I know perfectly well what the relationship between Qi Tongwei and Zhou Shutong is—it may be a rumor to others, but it's something I can see clearly.

"Don't even think about it. He's Governor Qi's man. You can only admire him from afar, not mess with him."

Guan Hongfeng smiled as he listened to his younger brother Guan Hongyu's words.

"No! You misunderstood. What I meant was that not only did she get promoted, but her father did too. That means she must have a special relationship with Governor Qi! I was thinking, should we take advantage of our old relationship and invite her to dinner to reconnect and maybe get to know each other better?"

Guan Hongyu shook his head.

"Don't even think about it! Zhou Shutong is one of Qi Tongwei's closest relatives. She's even higher up in Qi Tongwei's circle than I am. Under normal circumstances, her private time belongs to Qi Tongwei, so she wouldn't have time to have dinner with us."

In fact, what Guan Hongyu said was true. Although Qi Tongwei is now inseparable from his wife Zhong Xiaoai every day, Zhou Shutong, as a member of Qi Tongwei and Zhong Xiaoai's family, would go home on time every day after work to eat the dinner made by Xiao Jieba.

Basically, Qi Tongwei's family is always together like this, all together. Of course, there are exceptions when they need to work overtime. But generally, it doesn't prevent the family from having dinner together, because Qi Tongwei and Zhong Xiaoai leave the office very late every day. So, Qi Tongwei's family always eats dinner very late.

Hearing Guan Hongyu say this, Guan Hongfeng nodded.

"Then forget it. I thought having more connections meant having more options. How about we ask Zhou Shutong's father for help when we have time?"

Upon hearing this, Guan Hongyu pursed his lips helplessly.

"Hey! You're really going after Zhou Shutong. If you can't get her to come, you'll go after her dad."

After saying this, Guan Hongyu smiled helplessly.

"Alright, alright, but remember this: no matter how many friends you have, the only person who can decide whether you get promoted in the future is Governor Qi."

Guan Hongfeng had already coated the chicken legs with breadcrumbs and put them into the pot.

"Don't worry, little brother, I understand!"

As he spoke, Guan Hongfeng smiled and took a plate out of the cabinet.

"Go wash your hands, your favorite fried chicken is ready!"

On the rooftop of a high-rise building in Hong Kong.

Chen Yongren approached Huang Zhicheng, who was dressed in a suit, and smiled as he looked down from the rooftop.

"Why has Inspector Huang suddenly developed a fondness for climbing to high places and enjoying the view? Why did he call me to the rooftop of this building?"

Huang Zhicheng smiled after hearing Chen Yongren's words.

"How's it going? How's your relationship with Mary progressing?"

Hearing this, Chen Yongren felt a little embarrassed.

How's it going? It's going incredibly well! Mary's been vomiting a lot lately, it seems like she might be pregnant.

Yeah, now I drive with her every day, and nobody's watching me. I drive as fast as I can and floor the gas pedal as hard as I can.

Moreover, Mary loves to travel by car, and without restrictions, the two of them now go driving together very frequently.

Because I have to drive every day, I feel that my body can no longer keep up.

"How's it going? Ever since you told me about it last time, we've been together, and Mary is my woman now!"

Upon hearing Chen Yongren's words, Huang Zhicheng was momentarily stunned and took off his sunglasses in surprise.

"What?! Mary is your woman now?"

Huang Zhicheng thought he might have misheard. Although he had told Chen Yongren that in order to get together with Mary, he could take her for a drive if necessary.

But that means that when Chen Yongren has time, he can work as a part-time driver for Mary.

Now, Chen Yongren says Mary has become his woman. What does that mean?

Does this mean that Chen Yongren has become Mary's personal chauffeur?

Stop joking, okay? Mary has Han Chen by her side. Han Chen is Chen Yongren's older brother, Ling.

If he found out that Chen Yongren was taking his wife out for a car chase, he would be being lenient by not killing him.

Would Han Chen really be so generous as to give his wife to Chen Yongren?

The reason I was able to go out driving with Mary so smoothly and often go racing with her was because I had a lot of dirt on her husband, Han Chen, each piece of information enough to put Han Chen in jail for ten or eight years.

What kind of magic does Chen Yongren possess that makes a woman like Mary so easily agree to go racing with him?

Furthermore, it's completely illogical that Han Chen would simply hand it over!

Chen Yongren smiled at Huang Zhicheng, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned.

“I’m not lying. I’m living with Mary now, in the house that Han Chen used to live in.”

Hearing Chen Yongren's words, Huang Zhicheng opened his mouth wide, as if he was about to cast some kind of spell on the rooftop of the Hong Kong Mansion and devour the entire Hong Kong.

Chapter 493 You're not here to tell me a story, are you?

Huang Zhicheng stood there, mouth agape, frozen for a long time.

"Ah Ren, you're not kidding me, are you? Han Chen not only gave you his woman, but also his house?"

Chen Yongren looked down at the view of the entire Hong Kong skyline from the rooftop and smiled.

"That's right, and their two cars too."

Chen Yongren did not tell Huang Zhicheng that Han Chen gave him his wife, house, and car—anything he valued—because he assumed Huang was the son of his boss, Ni Kun.

However, Chen Yongren did not want to reveal too much of this information to Huang Zhicheng, as he did not believe that the police would benefit from knowing it.

After all, he was the head of one of Hong Kong's four major triads, the Ni family, and the son of Ni Kun.

If the police knew this, they would definitely view him with prejudice.
