Chapter 1815: Foreigners also worship foreigners (first update, please subscribe)
“We are SEA people!”

I don’t know since when, this has become the most common phrase used by SEA people, and their tone is full of pride when they say it.

This sense of pride is not only genuine, but sometimes, people can recognize it even without saying it.

“Just recognizing it is not enough!”

In the police station office, a group of soldiers in military uniforms were facing photos and listening to the police officer's instructions.

"You need to know their characteristics..."

The man in a suit introduced the characteristics of SEA people to the Hong Kong police:

"These people are generally tall and strong. When they walk, you can tell they have a military posture. This is because they have generally received military training. They are different from many places. They don't worry about life, so they don't frown or look depressed. Such expressions rarely appear on them. Judging from their expressions, they are confident and satisfied..."

Zhuyouzi, who was passing by the door, heard the man say this and muttered:

"Isn't that what I am talking about? Confident and satisfied..."

As he said this, he even straightened his chest to look confident.

Today is the day to pay fees, so Zhuyouzai came to the police station, followed by two men carrying two suitcases.

Chief Chinese Inspector Lei Luo and Zhu Youzai called the black money collected by the police force "regulatory fees". Besides because the name "regulatory fees" sounds nice, they also wanted to make the model of the police force collecting black money a rule recognized by superiors and subordinates, or even formalize it.

Although the fees of high-ranking inspectors and senior inspectors were paid by Lei Luo himself, because inspectors had more money and higher ranks, Lei Luo had to personally come forward to win them over and give them respect. Although Zhu Youzai was Lei Luo's confidant, his status was still a bit low compared to the inspectors.

However, ordinary policemen are paid by the police station by the lard boys. Because they are paid by the police station, the lard boys are the most popular people in the police station. Who doesn't like the God of Wealth?

"Brother Zai, you are here!"

As soon as he entered the police station, he saw people everywhere he greeted.

Every time he entered an office, he would open his suitcase, which contained packages of various sizes, all tied with kraft paper. Inside the packages were envelopes filled with Hong Kong dollars, and each package had the name of the department labeled on it.

Zhuyouzai was laughing all the way as he handed the paper packages to the heads of various departments.

"Captain Chen, this is yours."

The office of the Chief Sergeant of the Uniformed Division of Central Police Station is very simply furnished.

There is only a bookcase, a desk and an armchair.

There was a telephone, an electric lamp, a glass ashtray and a few books on the desk. Zhuyouzai pushed open the door and walked in with a smile, handing a thick paper package to Sheriff Chen who was working in the office.

"Thank you, brother. Would you like to have a cup of tea together?"

Reaching out to take the paper bag, Chen De's face was full of smiles.

"I won't drink other people's tea, but I must drink Chief Inspector Chen's tea."

Lard boy laughed.

He could ignore ordinary policemen, but Chen De was the sheriff. Although he was wearing a military uniform, he was still a sheriff.

"Haha, this is the face given by Brother Zai."

While Chen De was pouring tea, Zhu Youzi found a topic to talk about:

"Captain Chen, when I passed by the big office just now, I saw someone teaching someone to recognize someone. He was talking about confidence and satisfaction. Who is this person?"

“SEA people.”

Chen De placed the teacup in front of Zhu Youzai and said:

“Those foreigners taught us to identify SEA people.”

"SEA people? They look exactly like us, how can we recognize them? By their accents?"

Most Hong Kong people speak Cantonese, but in recent years, influenced by SEA TV stations and film and television dramas, many young people have begun to speak Mandarin.

"Look at their expressions. The pride in their bones is different from ours."

Hearing what Chen De said, Zhu Youzi said indifferently:
"What's the difference? They all have one nose and two eyes. Besides, what's the point of distinguishing them? Foreigners are really good at finding trouble."

"Brother Zai, ghosts are always scared."

Chen De said seriously:

"Because there are tens of thousands of SEA people in Hong Kong Island all year round. They look the same as us. The foreigners are worried that something might happen to them, which would anger the SEA. Have you read the news? Previously, terrorists hijacked their plane, and they almost dropped an atomic bomb. So the foreigners are worried that if something happens to them, and they get into unnecessary trouble, they will really stand up for themselves."

Hearing what he said, Zhuyouzi said indifferently:

"It's no big deal. It's just SEA. I don't have any super powers..."

Seeing this, Chen De didn't say anything. The two chatted briefly and then Zhuyouzi left. When getting in the car, he instructed the subordinate who was driving beside him:
"Ah Si, pass it on and see if there are any SEA people who owe you money. If there are, don't be violent with them."

Zhuyouzai also has his own business, lending money is one of them.

"Brother, if you don't use force, how can you ask for money?"

"You idiot, how did you get those foreigners' money?"

Zhuyouzi cursed casually, and then said:

"Remember, those SEA people are foreigners, high-level foreigners. Even foreigners are afraid of them!"

After cursing, Zhuyouzi muttered:

"Everyone is the same, how come they are so advanced..."

Zhuyouzai muttered this, then gave an order and the car drove away from the Central Police Station and headed towards another police station.

The days when fees are paid are the busiest time for Zhuyouzai. After all, this is his main job, while dance halls, restaurants and loan sharking are just side jobs.

……

Neon lights flickered in the night, and red, blue, and green spots of light sprinkled on the glass door of the ballroom, reflecting the figures of men and women coming in and out. As soon as Wang Yongxin and Guo Yifei stepped into the hall, they were overwhelmed by the jazz music and perfume.

"How about it? This place is pretty good, isn't it?"

Guo Yifei shouted in Wang Yongxin's ear at the top of his voice, and his eyes could not help but glance at the dance floor.

Wang Yongxin smiled, but his eyes were inadvertently attracted by a girl - she was wearing a light blue dress, with black hair like a waterfall, and was swaying gently to the music. Her dancing was not ostentatious, but there was an indescribable charm, as if the beauty on the old Shanghai calendar had come to life.

"Let's go over and get to know each other."

Wang Yongxin patted Guo Yifei on the shoulder, and the two walked towards the girl. "Miss, can I ask you to dance with me?"

Wang Yongxin bowed slightly. He could not speak Cantonese, so he asked directly in English. Many people in Hong Kong Island could not speak Mandarin.

The girl raised her eyes, her bright eyes like stars under the light. She looked at the young man in front of her who was a few years older than her, smiled, and agreed.

Then they walked onto the dance floor together, swaying their bodies to the rhythm. Amid the girls' dancing and laughter, Wang Yongxin felt a strange emotion in his heart, so he took the initiative to ask.

"My name is Wang Yongxin. What's your name?"

the girl answered loudly.

"My name is Deborah."

"Deborah, my English name."

In the booth on the other side of the dance hall, Inspector Huang Jie was hugging two dancers and drinking brandy one glass after another.

His gaze passed through the swaying figures on the dance floor and fell on the girl. Looking at her seductive figure and pretty face, the two women around her instantly lost interest.

"Awei,"

Huang Jie patted the shoulder of the henchman beside him and pointed at Deborah.
"Go and ask that young lady to come over for a drink."

Ah Wei walked over with a nod, but soon returned dejected:

"Brother Jie, that girl doesn't give me face!"

Huang Jie narrowed his eyes, put the wine glass heavily on the table, straightened the collar of his suit, and walked over in person.

"Miss, dancing alone is boring. Why don't you have a drink with me?"

He stood in front of Deborah, his smile indicating that she could not be refused.

Deborah took a half step back and shook her head:
"Sorry, I don't drink."

The smile on Huang Jie's face froze, and he reached out to pull her:

"Give me some face!"

Deborah suddenly grabbed the wine glass on the table and poured a glass of red wine directly on Huang Jie's face!
The surrounding area suddenly became quiet.

Red wine dripped down Huang Jie's cheeks, staining his white shirt red. His expression changed from stunned to gloomy, and he spoke word by word:

"Do you know who I am?"

Only then did Deborah see clearly that he had a gun on his waist with the handle exposed, and her face turned pale.

It's the police!
Wang Yongxin, who witnessed all this, suddenly stepped forward and stood in front of Deborah.

"Sir, I don't want to drink, why force me?"

Huang Jie wiped the wine stains off his face and looked Wang Yongxin up and down - although his appearance was no different from the people around him, he always felt that something was different.

Confident, strong…just seems strong.

"You are... from SEA?"

Huang Jie asked with a frown.

"Yes."

Wang Yongxin answered calmly, while Guo Yifei at the side was so angry that his heart was in his throat. After staying in Hong Kong Island for a few years, he naturally knew that the police here were different from those in SEA.

SEA people!
Huang Jie's expression changed subtly. He stared at Wang Yongxin, as if trying to figure out something.

At this time, Zhuyouzi, who had just entered the door, also saw this scene and immediately went up and said:

"Oh, Inspector Huang, Inspector Huang, what's going on..."

Then he turned his gaze to the young couple, looked at Wang Yongxin, and said:

"Boy, you..."

Suddenly Zhuyouzi stopped him. He looked at Wang Yongxin, as if he had thought of something, and said:

"Boy, are you from SEA?"

After getting a positive answer, Zhuyouzai suddenly felt a headache. Whatever he feared would come true.

SEA couldn't even afford to offend the foreigners, so he couldn't afford to offend them even more. He immediately forced a smile on his face and said:

"Inspector Huang, look at you, why are you so angry?" Then he deliberately lowered his voice and whispered in Huang Jie's ear:

"Inspector Huang, this guy and his friends are from SEA. Even the foreigners can't afford to offend them. A woman... forget it!"

Then Zhuyouzi said:

"Inspector Huang, let's go, I'll treat you today and ask two top performers to accompany you."

Huang Jie, who was originally hesitating about how to step down, immediately laughed when he heard what Zhuyouzai said:
"Well, thank you very much, Lard Boy."

After saying that, he turned around and walked back to the booth, sitting down heavily. Reluctantly, he still grabbed the bottle and took a big gulp.

But what can he do? Just like Zhuyouzai said, even the foreigners can't afford to offend these SEA people. As for him, he is a detective and can be impressive to ordinary people, but to foreigners... he can't be impressive. What's more, SEA people are more impressive than foreigners!
Damn it, how come even foreigners are worshipping foreign things!
Seeing this, Deborah breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Wang Yongxin with a little more gratitude in her eyes.

"Thank you."

When she thanked him, there was still some confusion in her eyes - why did the police change their attitude after they knew he was from SEA.

Wang Yongxin smiled:

"It's okay, come on, I'll take you home."

After leaving the ballroom, Deborah looked at the man next to her and expressed her doubts:

"It was really strange just now. Why did the police change their attitude after they found out you were from SEA?"

"I do not know either."

Wang Yongxin shrugged his shoulders and said:
“Maybe it’s because I’m from SEA.”
