Hong Kong Film: Jimmy? Please call me Councillor Li

Chapter 198 Peace Talks
"I understand. I'll do it right away."

In Chen Zhili's office, his face turned pale and then purple. After pleading in a low voice a few times, he hung up the phone.

He stared blankly at the landline phone for a moment, then transformed into a desktop cleaning master, sweeping everything off the desk and slamming his fists angrily onto the table.

Just now, the director of the welfare bureau personally called him, asking him to negotiate with Li Jiayuan.

This also means that they have lost the initiative in this battle, and the higher-ups have decided to carry out regional reforms according to the documents provided by Li Jiayuan.

This was a last resort; they wouldn't have suffered such a crushing defeat otherwise. In fact, they owe a great deal to Chen Zhili.

Originally, the Welfare Bureau did have a way to save them, but after Chen Zhili put Li Jiayuan in jail, the residents of Yau Ma Tei besieged the police station, and the matter became too big.

The Commissioner of Police was reprimanded, and even the highest-ranking official took notice of the incident, ordering that all impact be eliminated as quickly as possible.

The protest was the trigger for this whole affair; the top leader's words put pressure on the welfare department.

Chen Zhili's attempt to investigate taxes failed. Jiayuan Property and its subsidiaries are very clean, extremely clean, so clean that no problems can be found. All procedures are legal and compliant.

Unable to find a single flaw, and with no weaknesses to exploit in Li Jiayuan himself, the plan ended in failure.

The welfare department wanted to resolve the matter as soon as possible, so they had no choice but to negotiate; it was the only option.

Li Ka-yuen, representing the people of Hong Kong Island, held an open but not public dialogue with the Welfare Department.

The thought of how arrogantly he had gone to the Wan Chai Police Station the day before yesterday to kick someone when they were down and make harsh remarks made him feel ashamed.

Sending him to negotiate with Li Jiayuan is like offering yourself up to be slapped in the face.
But these were orders from above, and he couldn't disobey them.

He called his assistant, Guan Jie.

"Drive, come with me to the residential community property management office."

-

As Chen Zhili departed for the residential property management office.

Inside a private boxing gym on Bowring Street.

"Get him, Gao Jin, you're too weak to even hit someone."

"Crotch grab."

Outside the boxing gym, the gates were tightly closed; inside, the fighting spirit was high.

The loudest noise came from the airplane.

The pheasant stood beside him.

"You're yelling so loudly, why don't you go up and fight?"

The airplane rolled its eyes and flew into the sky.

"What are you saying? If I could actually go up and fight, would I be here just talking nonsense?"

Actually, Fei Ji is quite skilled, but that's only in comparison to the average gangster.

He couldn't even beat Long Wu, let alone Gao Jin, the suit-wearing thug who is now in his sub-adult form.

The two fighting on stage are Gao Jin and Li Jiayuan.

The two fought hand-to-hand without any traps. It was Gao Jin's first time fighting Li Jiayuan. At first, he didn't dare to use his full strength, but after being subdued by Li Jiayuan's Golden Eyebrow Wrap, he dared not be careless.

He had never seen Li Jiayuan use such moves before; they were too strange. He seemed to be lightly spinning around on the stage, but if you weren't fully alert, his deadly move could strike your face at any moment.

"Brother Yuan, be careful."

After a minute of stalemate, Gao Jin decided to attack the lower body, going all out. His movements were clean and ruthless, and while his boxing style showed traces of Muay Thai, it was completely different from Muay Thai.

It was more like a hodgepodge of various techniques. He formed both palms and attacked rapidly from different directions, making it impossible to discern the true direction of the killing move. This move alone made Long Wu below feel somewhat ashamed.

Gao Jin is amazing. In such a short time, he has developed such solid skills. Compared to him, Gao Jin looks like an idiot.

"Well come."

Li Jiayuan, with his rich experience, saw through Gao Jin's weaknesses. He used a technique called "Wind-blown Sleeves" to suddenly change his stance and then "Hidden Flower Under the Leaf," striking Gao Jin directly in the face.

At this moment, Gao Jin suddenly changed his move, seemingly grabbing Li Jiayuan's hands with both of his own, his smug expression as if to say, "Sorry, I won." He then delivered a straight punch to Li's face.

Li Jiayuan had no way to avoid this move, and the people in the audience, including Feiji, closed their eyes.

Oh my god, Yuan Ge's face is turning blue.

Only Long Wu's eyes were serious, staring intently at Gao Jin's fist, not wanting to miss a single detail.

Yuan Ge practiced a traditional Chinese martial art, so even a knife couldn't break his defenses, let alone Gao Jin's fists.

Sure enough, the moment Gao Jin's fist touched Li Jiayuan's head, his hand felt a sharp pain, as if he had hit a stone.

Taking advantage of his momentary lapse in concentration, Li Jiayuan used a golden eyebrow-wielding technique to knock him to the ground.

Even after losing, Gao Jin still didn't know how he lost. His punches could break sandbags, yet when they landed on a person's head, they didn't leave a single mark.

What kind of martial art is this?! His bones are as hard as iron!
"You lost, pay up."

"No!! My money!"

Li Jiayuan smiled and pulled Gao Jin up. The plane below was wailing. He gave all the money on the table to Long Wu.

"Brother Yuan, you're amazing."

Gao Jin's eyes were practically sparkling.

These words made Li Jiayuan feel a little guilty. Gao Jin was simply a genius. He couldn't even beat him with Baguazhang. Luckily, he had hard qigong, otherwise he would have been humiliated today.

It's also because he can't use his killer moves and has to hold back; otherwise, the insidious nature of Baguazhang would give Gao Jin an opportunity to die.

Because I didn't want anyone to know that I was a great fighter, today's game was a completely private affair.

Those who can be here are all loyal followers with a loyalty rate of over 80%: Wah-di, Airplane, Chicken, Lung-wu, and Lai-fu.
After being cooped up inside for two days, Li Jiayuan felt much more relaxed after stretching his muscles and bones.

"Gao Jin, don't you have to go to school now?"

He hadn't originally intended to call Gao Jin, as Gao Jin was currently protecting Qiu Rongrong and had other missions to complete, but he didn't know how the guy had managed to get leave.

Speaking of this, a look of frustration suddenly appeared on Gao Jin's cold face. Qiu Rongrong's temper was too difficult to handle. If it weren't for Yuan Ge's instructions, he wouldn't have gone to serve her.

"Qiu Rongrong is at home today. The Qiu family is heavily guarded, so it's okay if I don't go."

Speak of the devil, and he appears. Just as they finished talking about Qiu Rongrong, Gao Jin's phone rang. Looking at the caller ID...

No, hehe.

"I go first."

Gao Jin walked out of the boxing gym in a hurry, while Fei Ji and the others joked with him.

"That's terrible, a bodyguard, huh?"

The group headed back to the company. Downstairs at the Hong Kong Island branch, receptionist Xiao Mei immediately came over.

"Brother Yuan, the people from the Welfare Department are here and waiting for you in the waiting room. Do you want to go over?"

"Oh?"

Li Jiayuan was quite surprised that they arrived so quickly.

He thought he would have to release some more bombshells before the Welfare Department would compromise, but he didn't expect that Obama would lose his temper so quickly. It must be because the incident at the Wan Chai Police Station had blown up too much.

Li Jiayuan went to the reception room to see Chen Zhili. As the saying goes, enemies are especially hostile when they meet.

After exchanging only a few words and agreeing on a meeting place, they each went home to their own mothers.

Chen Zhili initially requested that only Li Jiayuan go to the peace talks, but he did not agree and demanded that the other three representatives be brought along.

Chen Zhili had no choice but to agree.

Before we knew it, the day for the peace talks had arrived.
