Hong Kong Film: Jimmy? Please call me Councillor Li

Chapter 232 The Death of the Matchmaker
Li Jiayuan had little experience in comforting people.

Gently patting Ruan Mei's back, at this moment, companionship is the best comfort.

Huang Lei sat down next to Ruan Mei.

"Fool, how can you not have family? We are all your family."

"Leilei~~"

Tears soaked the white quilt. Perhaps because she had found someone to lean on, Ruan Mei's cries became even more heart-wrenching. Half an hour passed like this, until she seemed to have cried herself out.

She leaned against the pillow, breathing softly, and fell asleep.

Li Jiayuan was in charge of Cai Po's funeral arrangements, which were handled very well. Her ashes were placed in a temple to be worshipped.

Ruan Mei, after resting in the hospital for four days, became depressed and requested to be discharged.

Home on Baoling Street
Huang Lei carried the last box out of the house, and when she realized that Ruan Mei hadn't followed and was looking back, she had no choice but to put down the box, go to Ruan Mei's side, and gently take her hand.

"Come on, move in with us."

Ruan Mei's eyes reddened again. This house held many happy memories for her and her grandmother. Their lives had just begun to improve, so why did her grandmother...
Influenced by Ruan Mei's emotions, Huang Lei's eyes also reddened, and she became even more determined not to let Huang Lei stay here.

With Granny Cai gone, Ruan Mei is left alone in this empty house, which inevitably stirs up her emotions. If she develops any mental health issues, it will be troublesome.

Despite her deep reluctance, Ruan Mei moved next door to live with Li Jiayuan and the others.

——Homeland Group

Zhang Bao rarely comes to the company. Li Jiayuan basically doesn't need any bodyguards these days. Why would he need bodyguards? He alone is as good as an entire bodyguard team.

I'll say it again: hard qigong is awesome.

He reassigned the original bodyguard team to protect Huang Lei and Ruan Mei.

Zhang Bao came to the company today for two reasons: first, to report on his work, and second, to ask for advice on how to deal with the assassin.

That's right, it's Xiao Zhuang who failed in his assassination attempt on Li Jiayuan.

Li Jiayuan only remembered after hearing this that he had almost forgotten about that guy.

Street
After Xiao Zhuang was captured, he was imprisoned in a private manor in Li Jiayuan, which was the headquarters of the undercover agents.

In the small dark room, Xiao Zhuang was chained to the wall with handcuffs and shackles. The curtain was very short, only one meter long, and he couldn't even lie down. He had been sitting against the wall for several days.

Xiao Zhuang is an assassin with excellent mental fortitude, but this seemingly endless imprisonment still makes him very uneasy.

That day, he was plotting a murder at the hideout when suddenly the staff from the residential complex burst in and arrested him.

With his skills and marksmanship, he thought he still had a fighting chance, but he didn't expect that the group of people were all skilled fighters, especially the leader, who was ruthless and almost killed him.

The man who beat Xiao Zhuang up was Gao Jin. Gao Jin was always ruthless when dealing with enemies, especially since this guy was an assassin hired to kill Li Jiayuan. If it weren't for orders, Xiao Zhuang's life might have already been taken by the King of Hell that very night.

Xiao Zhuang was puzzled because after the property management staff brought him back, they seemed to have forgotten about him and didn't do anything to him. Every day, someone came to feed him, and this went on for several days.

I thought today would pass by peacefully like this.

The door to the dark room suddenly swung open, leaving Xiao Zhuang puzzled.

It's not mealtime yet, right?

Xiao Zhuang was roughly dragged out. In the garden outside the dark room, a young man sat upright in an iron chair, stroking his chin and looking him up and down.

Because he hadn't been exposed to sunlight for a long time, Xiao Zhuang couldn't open his eyes for a moment, but he heard a magnetic voice in front of him.

"I heard you accepted a mission to kill me!"

After a few minutes, he was finally able to see things again and was shocked. The young man in front of him was none other than the famous Li Jiayuan. Yes, it was him.

It looks exactly like the photo.

Xiao Zhuang didn't speak. Li Jiayuan was quite interested in him. The story of the Bloodstained Heroes was truly tragic, with a very bad ending. Xiao Zhuang shouldn't be considered a good person, but he was definitely not a bad person in the traditional sense.

Even Li Ying, a police officer who hated evil, looked at him with new respect. It would be a pity if such a person died.

"Before you kill me, can you let me go home? I have some things I want to tell you. I'll come back on my own after I've taken care of them, and you can do whatever you want with me."

Zhang Bao sneered in displeasure.

"Trying to bargain? Don't you even know if you're qualified? Brother Yuan, just kill him."

Li Jiayuan raised his hand and looked at Zhang Bao, who immediately took two steps back and remained silent.

"Your name is Xiao Zhuang, and you are an assassin. Your superior is called Fourth Brother. Since you started out, you have never failed. This is the first time you have stumbled. A few years ago, you accidentally injured a girl during a mission."

That caused him to lose his sight, and now that girl is your girlfriend. Am I wrong about any of this?

"They are innocent. Just kill me, don't drag them into it!"

Xiao Zhuang's mouth was slightly agape, unable to close. These were all secrets, yet Li Jiayuan... could tell them everything without missing a single word. He had already traced them back to Jenny and Fourth Brother.

He regretted taking on the task and was even more afraid of implicating Jenny.

Li Jiayuan added:
"Don't worry, I'm a good person. I won't let my wife and children suffer. Besides, I have no intention of killing you. I've investigated you, and you're not a bad person. How about it? Do you want to come with me? I guarantee you can have much more than you have now and escape your current dangerous life."

"You won't kill me!"

Xiao Zhuang's dirty face was full of surprise, but then he became numb. He only had the skill of killing, so what else could Li Jiayuan want from recruiting him?

But he really didn't want to kill anymore. If it weren't for Jenny's eyes, he definitely wouldn't have gone back to his old ways.

"You don't need to answer me right away. Go back and think about it carefully."

Xiao Zhuang was released. Looking at the triggered mission prompt on the consciousness screen, Li Jiayuan smiled confidently. He was sure that this guy would come back.

In the evening, Li Jiayuan invited Qiu Degen to dinner.

Besides Qiu Degen, Qiu Rongrong was also present. This girl shamelessly followed Qiu Degen here, and after arriving, she dragged Gao Jin away and disappeared somewhere.

Qiu Degen introduced Li Jiayuan to a new friend.

Mr. Lin is currently the largest shareholder and chairman of ATV.

That's how connections work in business; you introduce people, I introduce people, and before long, you become familiar with each other.

Qiu Degen introduced his old friend to Li Jiayuan to express his gratitude for Li Jiayuan's previous rescue of Qiu Rongrong and for entrusting the distribution of the new drug to the Qiu family.

He knew that Li Jiayuan was now running a film company and needed connections in this area. Although the Shao family at TVB was currently very powerful, the people at TVB were like wolves, and anyone who cooperated with them would get a piece of their flesh bitten off.

Just by looking at how TVB treats its artists, you can tell that the Shao family is not someone you can easily get along with.

Currently, only ATV can rival TVB, so if Lee Ka-yuen wants to enter the film and television industry, he either has to cooperate with TVB or choose ATV.

Therefore, he introduced Lin Xin from ATV to Li Jiayuan so that they could get to know each other and have easier conversations in the future.

Lee Ka-yuen was frustrated and wanted to talk to ATV, but he didn't expect that old man Chiu Te-ken would be so helpful and bring the behind-the-scenes boss over.

The guests and hosts enjoy a meal together.

—Wong Tai Sin
Chan Ka-yan returned to the housing estate and took the elevator up to her floor, 5A.

In Hong Kong Island, auspicious numbers are valued, and the number 4 is considered unlucky. Therefore, many places do not have a fourth floor, but instead use 3A or 5A instead.

As soon as Chen Jiaxin stepped out of the elevator, she saw that the hallway was crowded with people, and her neighbor Uncle Fa saw her and came over anxiously.

"Xin Xin, you're finally back! Oh dear, you should take your mom to the hospital right away."
