Hong Kong Storm: The King of Jobs

Chapter 685, Section 275: Something's Not Right
Yau Ma Tei remains as lively as ever.

The colorful neon signs on Canton Road outshine even the streetlights.

There are just fewer cars, so there's no situation like during the day when you have to wait five minutes at a traffic light.

Peach Blossom Girl drove quickly to the entrance of Dragon Palace Nightclub and parked the car directly on the side of the road.

Dragon Palace Nightclub is my boss's favorite place. He has dealt with Handsome Sheng before and said that Handsome Sheng is a smart man. There are no prostitutes or drug stalls in the club, which reduces a lot of trouble.

Private rooms have a minimum charge, and booths have an entrance fee. This effectively keeps out many troublemakers who might cause trouble.

For entertainment venues, money is the admission ticket, so that's not a big problem.

Peach Blossom Girl had been here a few times, always with her close friends. She was particularly impressed by the top-notch sound equipment and the latest Japanese karaoke machines at Dragon Palace Nightclub.

Thanks to the laser disc, there's no longer a need to insert coins to change songs, nor to change the cassette tape after each song.

When she puts on the uniform, she's a policewoman; but when she takes it off, she's just an ordinary citizen.

After glancing at the uniquely designed Dragon Palace Nightclub, Peach Girl suddenly recalled the Michelin Guide to Travel magazine's description of it as Asia's most innovative building, with a unique architectural aesthetic that could be compared to the Sydney Opera House.

Furthermore, the Dragon Palace Nightclub is constructed entirely of reinforced steel, high-strength tempered glass, and covered with high-gloss acrylic panels on the exterior. This bold attempt has once again made chief architect I.M. Pei the focus of the architectural world.

The transparent structure, with a height of 66 meters and composed of 999 diamond-shaped glass pieces, not only solves the problem of lighting in the underground space, but also achieves a fusion of history and modernity by reflecting the red brick texture of the surrounding tenement buildings.

Even Peach Blossom Girl's close friends overseas called her, asking her to take some photos and mail them to her.

Thanks to the promotion by Michelin Travel Magazine, many overseas entertainment enthusiasts have flown in to experience the oriental entertainment style of Dragon Palace Nightclub.

Backpackers from Europe and America also joined in the fun, making the Dragon Palace Nightclub a must-visit spot to enjoy a unique cocktail and watch an unrestricted boxing match.

The Dragon Palace Nightclub was also very good at promotion. They immediately hired Julius Schulman, the world's most famous architectural photographer, to stay in Hong Kong for a month to conceive shooting angles and lighting. Then they bought out the copyright of these photos and started printing tourist postcards.

These thoughtfully designed travel postcards immediately won praise from backpackers, who were happy to spend HK$9.99 to buy a beautiful and unique souvenir.

Everyone in Hong Kong knows that the famous Mr. Wang is just a major investor, while the one who is actually in charge of the business is Handsome Sheng.

The business schools at the University of Hong Kong and the Chinese University of Hong Kong have compiled the marketing plan for the Dragon Palace Nightclub into a booklet and have begun studying it.

People need fame, trees need shadows! This hype has made Dragon Palace Nightclub a landmark of entertainment in Hong Kong.

In addition, since the Dragon Palace Nightclub is newly opened, its equipment and decoration are top-notch. Young masters from Shanghai, Xiangshan, Dongguan and Chaoshan are all eager to come and support it and try something new.

This business made Liangzai Sheng increasingly shrewd. Even if new entertainment venues appeared in the future, Longgong Nightclub could survive and maintain its profitability by relying on backpackers, souvenirs, and AKB boxing matches.

Over time, it really did become a landmark building in Hong Kong.

Thinking about this, Peach Blossom Girl felt a bit of admiration. She opened a new pack of cigarettes, took one out, lit it, and got out of the car.

Lighter, who had been waiting by the roadside, had long since spotted his boss's four-door sports car, but he wisely refrained from approaching. His boss was parked on the side of the road without getting out, clearly busy with something, and Lighter didn't want to be a fool and make a fool of himself. However, when he saw Peach Blossom Girl get out of the car, he quickly went over to report the situation.

"Sister Peach Blossom, White Eagle has already gone in. His henchmen Da Ye, Battery, and Carmen are all there."

After saying that, Huoji looked around and whispered, "Brother A is here too. He's in charge of this case, so Inspector Wong from the Criminal Intelligence Bureau's surveillance team notified Brother A first."

"It's a bit strange that Inspector Bai came with Brother A."

"If Inspector Bai steals all the limelight, it will be very disadvantageous for you, Sister Peach Blossom!"

Peach Blossom Girl smoked her cigarette without saying a word. She had powerful backers and influential figures supporting her. Bai Fengxian wasn't a lone commander either. If one step was slow, everything else would be slow. Similarly, if one step was fast, everything else would be fast.

If you get promoted quickly, even if your subordinates don't get promoted, they will receive more bonuses, subsidies, and commendations.

But Ding Gou has been very mysterious for the past six months, and no one knows what he's up to. Guo Sir has also pretended not to see it. It's outrageous that a newcomer like himself has started leading a team to investigate cases!

She still vividly remembers the advice Ding Gou gave her after the meeting.

"Hey lighter bro, what news did you get?"

Lighter isn't a blabbermouth, but this old fox must know something. Since Brother A is already here and Bai Fengxian is inside, Peach Blossom Girl doesn't need to rush in. She should learn more about the gossip.

She's been going to the prosecution center a lot lately because several of her cases are under trial, and she needs to work with the prosecutors to discuss trial strategies.

Lighter was always with the crew, and he could see everything that was happening within the crew.

When his boss spoke, Huoji chuckled. He wasn't the type to gossip, but he had indeed noticed a lot of signs.

"It seems like Brother A is pursuing Inspector Bai. This workaholic actually wants to be in a relationship, and he's a tomboy at that! I never expected that!"

Lighter was a seasoned player in love, someone who had been through it all. He noticed something was off between A-zai and Bai Fengxian at just one glance, but he didn't tell anyone except his boss.

That damn bastard Ding Gou is probably hiding somewhere sunbathing. If he wants to get promoted to the fourth rank or defy fate and become an inspector, he'll need Peach Blossom Girl's help.

So giving Peach Blossom Girl some workplace information is perfectly fine.

Is A-zai pursuing Bai Fengxian?
Something's weird!
Peach Girl had met A-Zai's ex-girlfriend and even had dinner with her. A-Zai liked gentle women and didn't like workaholics. Then, thinking about what Ding Gou-Ge had said, she suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Keep a close eye on them, and tell me about any unusual activity."

Sensing something was amiss, Peach Blossom Girl immediately ordered Lighter to keep a close eye on the in-laws.

Huoji noticed something was wrong from Tao Hua Mei's slightly serious expression, but he was a seasoned veteran and knew that he only needed to follow the orders of the officers so that even if things came to light one day, he wouldn't be implicated.
