A hundred flavors of life

Chapter 1308 Hua Shier: Metropolitan Police Department? I need to call the police! (Please subscribe!)

P.S.: Requesting monthly votes, thank you very much.

Inside the nightclub, amidst the clinking of glasses, a band on stage played languid yet slightly restless jazz music. Kao Chieh, the leader of the Tainan gang, strolled through the crowd in a flamboyant bright red suit, a broad smile on his face, warmly greeting the guests who came to offer their congratulations.

After entering the nightclub, Hua Shier glanced around and went straight over to Gao Jie, who was clinking glasses with someone, and greeted him:
"Boss Gao, congratulations!"

Kao Chieh instinctively smiled and replied:
Thank you very much.

He was halfway through his sentence when he realized he didn't recognize the man: "Brother, where are you from? You don't look familiar!"

At this moment, his Tainan gang members moved closer to him, to prevent Hua Shier from being someone who had come to cause trouble.

Hua Shier remained expressionless: "Boss Gao, have you forgotten? We just spoke on the phone. This is Zhao Tie. I'm here to congratulate you on the opening of your new store, and to take my brother back with me!"

Kao Chieh's face instantly turned cold. He wanted to order his men to teach this man a lesson, but after glancing at the lively scene around him, he knew that if he made a move here, he would be ruining his own reputation.

He nodded coldly at Hua Shier:
"So you're Iron Head? You want people, right? Fine, come to the back and talk to me!"

After he finished speaking, he turned and left. Hua Shier followed him directly. Some of the other Tainan gang members stayed behind to guard the place, while the rest followed.

The nightclub had just opened, and all the private rooms were already full. Gao Jie took Hua Shier to the storeroom where drinks and cigars were stored to discuss business. After entering, he greeted his men:
"close the door!"

The subordinate who followed him in immediately closed the door, then crossed his arms and looked at Hua Twelve with hostility.

Hua Shier looked around and said with a smile:
"Boss Gao, where are my men? You didn't do anything to them, did you? They're just kids, don't scare them!"

Kao Chieh pointed directly at Hua Twelve:
"How dare you! Your people are on my turf, stealing my business. Have you considered the consequences?"

Hua Shier suppressed his obsessive-compulsive urge to grab the other person's fingers and twist them back and forth, and said with a smile:
"Boss Gao, you're in the entertainment industry, where did this accusation of stealing your business come from?"

Kao Chieh scoffed:
"Playing dumb, huh? In Tainan, we arrange fake marriages for the matchmakers, and we still have to wait three years to get permanent residency. Even so, it costs five million Japanese yen!"

"You guys can help people get citizenship on the same day for only five million. You're not just stealing my business, you're also messing up the market, you know that?"

Hua Shier then realized that his business of selling household registrations had clashed with the business of the Tainan gang.

Kao Chieh spat:
"Damn it, if someone hadn't told me, I still wouldn't understand why so many people who paid deposits would back out. Now I haven't even made any profit on the dozens of final payments. How am I supposed to calculate this loss?"

Hua Shier knew the other party was asking him to pay, but how could he possibly pay? He looked at Gao Jie's neck, a bright smile on his face:

"That's easy!"

Just as he was about to snap the other person's neck, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a member of the Tainan gang dragged in a woman wearing sunglasses and a mask.
"Brother, this woman was acting suspiciously at the entrance. The parking attendant said she came in the same car as this man!"

The woman called out in Japanese:

"Let me go! What are you doing? I'm calling the police!"

Kaohsiung MRT looks towards China XII:
"Your girlfriend? Should I teach her some manners, or call the police?"

Hua Shier laughed and said, "Fine, go ahead and kill her if you dare!"

Kao MRT's temper flared up immediately: "Damn it, you think we Tainan gang are pushovers?!"

He ordered his men, "Smear this woman's face!"

The Tainan gang member who was grabbing the woman pulled out a switchblade, snapped it open, and brandished it at the woman's face.

The woman screamed in fright. Hua Shier stopped teasing her, walked over, pulled the woman behind him, and turned to Gao Jie, saying:

"Alright, I think I understand what Boss Gao means. It's just about money, right? I have a win-win suggestion. I wonder if Boss Gao would like to hear it!"

He suddenly changed his mind. Dealing with ordinary people is more interesting with his brain. If he really encounters a problem, he will kill people and use force at the slightest disagreement. How about he wipes out the Japanese islands and unifies the world in one night?

The woman, still shaken, couldn't understand the Mandarin spoken by Hua Shier and Gao Jie. Thinking the man was standing up for her, she quickly said:

"Don't fight with him. I can give him money, just tell him not to hurt us!"

Hua Twelve snapped at him in Japanese, clearly annoyed:

"Shut up, you little rascal!"

If this were a man, Hua Shier wouldn't even bother with him.

Actually, he couldn't be bothered with the woman. The main issue was that he had brought her along, and it wouldn't be good if something happened to her, especially since she had been very nice after the accident and even offered to compensate him. He would feel somewhat embarrassed if something happened to her.

Kao Chieh's intention was simply to get money. When he heard that Hua Twelve was willing to compensate him for his losses, he didn't immediately respond, but instead raised his eyebrows.

"What suggestion do you have? Tell us!"

Hua Shierchao Gaojie said:

"The fake marriage scheme you guys in Tainan arranged to get permanent residency takes a long time, has a high degree of uncertainty, and could even damage your reputation. Besides, you only get a brokerage fee, so you don't make much money from it!"

“From now on, our two companies will cooperate. I’ll handle the paperwork for the people you find. I’ll give your Tainan group a commission of one million per person. What do you think, Boss Gao?”

Gao Jie's eyes flickered, clearly tempted. He smiled, opened a box of cigars from the warehouse shelf, took one out, and handed it to Hua Shier.
"Since you're so agreeable, let's leave it at that. But the commission is a bit low; I'll ask for two million per person!"

Hua Shier took the cigar and put it in his mouth, and Gao Jie lit it for him.

After taking a sip, Hua Twelve said:
"Boss Gao, you know there are Japanese devils behind this naturalization thing without me even having to tell you. I'm just a front man. The Japanese devils definitely take the lion's share. Go ask my brothers. I only give them half a percent, 250,000. If I give you a million, I'll only get a sip of the soup!"

"If you won't even let me have some soup, then this cooperation is pointless!"

When Gao Jie heard that Hua Shier refused, he glared at him with wide eyes, as if he were about to kill him at any moment.

The women behind Hua Shier trembled with fear at his gaze, thinking how fierce he was and whether he was going to kill someone!

Hua Shier himself, with a cigar in his mouth and a smile on his lips, looked at Kao Chieh with a nonchalant air.

Suddenly, Kao Chieh put away his fierce expression, smiled, and extended his hand: "I'll do as you say. It'll be a pleasure doing business with you!"

Hua Shier reached out and shook hands with him: "Boss Gao, I have one more condition. I want to know who told you this!"

Kao Chieh waved his hand:

"Some idiot named Hong Kong Guy came up to me and said he wanted to hang out with me. Damn it, a phone card seller wanted to hang out with me, hahaha."

Hua Shier raised his eyebrows. "What a traitor! This guy's dead meat!" he said.

"My brothers"

Kao Chieh waved his hand at his subordinates before he could finish speaking:
"Release those Taibao gang members; from now on, we're all on the same side."

Hua Shier saw that the Tainan gang's underlings had gone out to release the people, smiled and nodded at Kao Chieh, and then asked:
"Boss Gao and the brothers from the Tainan gang all have residency permits, right? Won't that make things very inconvenient?"

"Since we're all on the same side, there's no reason not to process citizenship for our own people when we're processing it for others. If you need it, Boss Gao, I can change it to an Alien Registration Card for you!"

Kao Chieh was both surprised and delighted: "Can people with triad backgrounds also get citizenship?"

Hua Shier hit the nail on the head. Those of them who hold residency permits will be deported if they are caught engaging in illegal activities or committing illegal acts. Even those with permanent residency may be deported if they break the law. So it is really inconvenient for them to get things done.

If I could become a citizen, I would enjoy the same national treatment as the native Japanese, and I wouldn't have to be timid or hesitant in doing things.

But Kao Chieh also knew that they all had triad backgrounds and would not pass the vetting process. Now that Hua Shier said he could process his citizenship, how could he not be overjoyed?

It wasn't that he easily believed Hua Shier's words; it was because this product had such a good reputation that everyone who had used it said it was good, and not a single person said it was fake.

Hua Shier smiled and nodded: "Of course, the Japanese devils behind me only care about money. Give me your residence permit, and I can process your citizenship tomorrow!" Gao Jie was about to speak when someone knocked on the door and came in to report:
"Boss, Mr. Eguchi is here!"

Upon hearing the name Jiangkou, Gao Jie immediately turned to leave, but after taking only one step, he turned back, smiled, and patted Hua Shier on the shoulder:

"Don't rush off yet. I'll give you your residence permit after I'm done. Oh, and have a good time with your buddies tonight. It's on me."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the warehouse.

Before long, someone brought A-Jie, Lao Gui, Lao Dai, Tai Bao, and more than a dozen others to the warehouse. They were all bruised and battered, and they were all somewhat agitated when they saw Hua Twelve.
"Big brother!"

Hua Shier glanced at them one by one. They were all intact, unlike Ah Jie in the original story where his hand was cut off.

"Alright, things have been discussed openly. You can go out and have fun, even if you bring women. Boss Gao will pay the bill, so don't try to save him any money."

Hearing what Hua Shier said, these guys all breathed a sigh of relief.

Hua Shier turned around, grabbed the woman, and walked out:

"I'll see you out first, we can talk about this another day!"

The woman nodded repeatedly. She had almost died of fright. Although she couldn't understand what the two were saying, she guessed they were negotiating, and she had already imagined a scene unfolding in her mind:

Red suit: A cargo ship full of pineapples, help me clear customs!

Hua Twelve: Customs checks are strict; at most, half a cargo ship will be affected!

The man in the red suit glared at her: "I said one cargo ship, so it's one cargo ship!"
Hua Shier: You think it's watermelons that are being smuggled? Those are just pineapples! What if the Japanese don't like them? They'll rot!
Okay, actually she was thinking about smuggling goods, and she was terrified. Now she's obediently following behind Hua Shier, just hoping to leave as soon as possible.

After moving from the warehouse to the front, I found that the nightclub was even more crowded now.

Kao Chieh was welcoming a tall, short Japanese man who was in his early thirties. He had a refined and gentle face with a humble smile.

Judging from Kao Chieh's attitude towards this man, it's clear that this man is no ordinary person.

This man is the one Xiu Xiu found in Japan in the original storyline. He is also the vice chairman of the largest yakuza gang in Japan, the Triads, named Eguchi Toshiaki.

Hua Shi's gaze fell on the woman next to Eguchi Toshiaki, who was the person he had come to Japan to find, Xiu Xiu!

However, Xiuxiu was no longer the country bumpkin she used to be. Instead, she was dressed in a kimono and followed behind the man like a virtuous wife and loving mother.

Hua Shier didn't even bother to see the woman behind him out; he walked straight over and said to Gao Jie in Japanese:

"Boss Gao, aren't you going to introduce him?"

As he spoke, he smiled and nodded at Eguchi Toshinari.

Eguchi Toshinari smiled in response, but he suddenly felt the woman beside him stiffen. He turned his head and saw his woman, Yuko, looking at the man in front of him with a mix of nervousness and complicated emotions.

Kao Chieh introduced with a smile:
"This is Mr. Eguchi Toshiaki, the vice president of the Triads. Mr. Eguchi, this is my business partner, Mr. Zhao Tie!"

Eguchi Toshinari extended his hand first: "Nice to meet you!"

Hua Shier smiled and shook hands with him: "Speaking of which, we're quite destined to meet!"

Upon hearing this, Xiuxiu's body began to tremble with tension, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Eguchi Toshinari clearly sensed it, gave Xiuxiu a half-smile, then turned back and asked:

"Fate? How so?"

Hua Shier released Jiang Kou's hand and pointed at Xiu Xiu:

"My fiancée is now, it seems, your woman!"

Xiuxiu suddenly started swaying. Gao Jie looked around, a look of amused curiosity on his face, but he still stepped in to help Jiang Kou out of the predicament, and said to Hua Twelve:

"Brother, you've had too much to drink. Let's go sit over there for a while!"

Eguchi Toshinari smiled and stopped him, saying, "No need, I think this gentleman is perfectly sober!"

He looked at Hua Twelve:

"Actually, I've long suspected that Yuko has a past. After all, how could such a beautiful woman wait until I appear? But since you two are in the past, I think you should respect Yuko's choice?"

Hua Shier looked at Xiuxiu and asked with a smile, "Having a child?"

Xiuxiu seemed moved by Jiang Gulicheng's words. She first gave him a grateful look, and then said to Hua Shier:

"Iron Head, I've changed my name to Jiezi. Our past is over, so let it be!"

Hua nodded.
“A forced relationship won’t be happy. I respect your choice, but you have to have a conscience. You can’t just stop contacting your parents. Your mother cries every time she thinks of you. She’s almost gone blind from crying. You can be a Japanese citizen if you want, but you can’t be a beast who doesn’t recognize his parents. Call your mother when you have time!”

He spoke in Japanese, and with each sentence, Xiuxiu's face grew paler and paler, until finally her body began to sway.

Eguchi Toshinari quickly put his arm around Xiuxiu's shoulder and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

Xiuxiu shook her head: "It's nothing!"

Hua Shier nodded to Jiang Kou Licheng:

"Junior, then I won't bother you any longer!"

After saying this, he smiled and left, switching to Mandarin as he spoke:

"Triads? Those filthy scavengers!"

After saying that, he laughed and said, "A ring? Daddy's ring?"

Kao Chieh, who could understand, had a strange expression as he suppressed a laugh. Hsiu-hsiu became even more unsteady on her feet and leaned directly against Eguchi Toshiaki.

Only after Hua Shier walked out the door did Jiang Kou's gaze reveal a hint of murderous intent as he watched Hua Shier's retreating figure.

Hua Shier went outside to smoke a cigar, when suddenly a woman's soft voice came from beside him:

"So you were betrayed by your lover too. Can I buy you a drink?"

Hua Shier turned his head and saw the female driver. At this moment, the female driver took off her sunglasses, revealing her clear but foolish, watery eyes.

He was about to yell "Get lost!" but couldn't resist using his X-ray vision to take a look and immediately said:

"Just wait for me!"

After saying that, he turned around and went back to find Taibao, who was hugging a girl: "Bring Kao Chieh's residence permit back to me tonight. I've already told him everything. He can just ask for it after the show. Tell him I have to go!"

That night, Hua Shier drank two bottles of whiskey with the female driver. The next morning, he glanced at the girl next to him, left a note, and went out to run errands.

In the morning, Hua Shier obtained the residence permits for Kaohsiung MRT and a group of Tainan gang members from Taibao and found his connections.

"Cancel these accounts for me and replace them with login credentials that aren't registered!"

In the afternoon, Hua Shier delivered the documents to Gao Jie and his group. The latter were delighted and wanted to treat him to a meal, but he waved his hand.
"Don't be so polite, we're all on the same side!"

Leaving the territory of the Tainan gang, Hua Shier took out his phone and made a call:
"Metropolitan Police Department? I need to report a crime. Are you going to do anything about gangsters using fake IDs?"
