Hong Kong Film: Jimmy? Please call me Councillor Li

Chapter 348 Brother Yuan is going through fire and water!

The district council's job duties aren't that many; it's just that they're always in meetings.

Although it's not necessary for someone to attend every time, it's still nice to go occasionally.

When problems arise, they have to step in and make decisions, like casting votes.

That's pretty much how things are for now. If anything happens, Jian Aowei will notify him.

We can just join a tour group then.

In the afternoon, Li Jiayuan arranged to meet Wang Bingyao at the hotel.

Because of Wang Bingyao's special status, he chose his own private restaurant as the location, which was classy yet not too ostentatious.

Private restaurants are clearly a better choice than going to upscale areas like the Peninsula Hotel.

"Delicious, really delicious! Brother Yuan, you have excellent taste. I haven't had such delicious Sichuan food in a long time. This tastes exactly like my grandma's."

Inside the private room, Wang Bingyao was eating heartily, and the way he wolfed down his food was really hard to reconcile with his status.

It felt like my eyebrows were moving while I was eating.

"Eat more if you like. The food here isn't expensive, but it's a members-only restaurant. Even if you're rich, you can't get in without the introduction of a few wealthy people."

"I'll give you a specially customized membership card in a moment. You'll get a 50% discount on everything you do here."

"Really? Thank you, Brother Yuan."

Wang Bingyao was never the kind of rigid policeman. You can't get to this position if you're too rigid. His motto in life is that it's a fool not to take advantage of a good deal.

Don't refuse something that's free.

"Brother Yuan, last time you were arrested at the Wan Chai Police Station, I helped you a lot behind the scenes. You're really not being fair. You have such good inside information about Cheung Kong Group, why didn't you tell me?"

"Let me earn a little bit too! You have no idea how little I've been able to make ends meet lately."

Li Jiayuan: “.”

He knew the fat man was exaggerating, but he never expected the guy to like money so much.

He met Wang Bingyao through Chen Jiaju's introduction, and later, he discovered that Wang Bingyao was a "promising talent," which led to a deeper connection between them.

"These are minor matters. I'll give you two numbers later, just buy from them. Don't spend too much, the price will definitely be fine."

"Oh, thank you in advance, Brother Yuan."

"Brother Yuan, why did you call me in such a hurry this time? Is something wrong?"

"Of course it's a good thing. Why would I be looking for you if it wasn't a good thing?"

"Oh, what good news?"

"I received information that a Vietnamese arms dealer is going to make a 50 million yuan arms deal here in a while. Their goods have already entered the port, which happens to be within my territory."

As you know, I'm a law-abiding citizen and I appreciate police-community cooperation. What do you think, Chief Commander Wang, about leading the team to seize this batch of weapons? What do you think? Isn't that a good idea?

Wang Bingyao's swift and decisive movements stopped immediately upon hearing Li Jiayuan's words.

With a clatter, the spoon fell onto the bone plate. Holding the red wine, he took a big gulp, then asked in shock, trembling.

"Brother Yuan, you...you're not kidding me, are you?!"

"A $50 million arms deal!!!"

Wang Bingyao was somewhat dazed, mainly because happiness had come too suddenly, and he couldn't believe it.

A 50 million arms deal, and they even know the location? Isn't this an incredible stroke of luck coming to our door?

That's fifty million worth of weapons!

If he were to solve such a major case, Wang Bingyao would definitely be trending on the news.

He had already reached the position of Chief Superintendent, a position that was already very difficult to advance further in. He had originally given up on that position and planned to stay in it for the rest of his life.

But Li Jiayuan gave him new hope.

He knew that Xu Zhengyang from the Yau Tsim Mong district was able to solve one major case after another precisely because he had access to so much information from Li Jiayuan. Otherwise, how could he have gone from Chief Superintendent to Assistant Secretary?
Damn it, if Xu Zhengyang can do it, why can't I?

He still has ten years until retirement, so maybe he can stay on for a while longer.

Wang Bingyao put down his wine glass, abandoned his playful demeanor, and adopted a serious expression.

"Brother Yuan, just tell me what you want me to do."

"I enjoy interacting with intelligent people. There's nothing special about it; I just want to have more friends and more options. I think we'll get along very well."

"So I'm handing this case over to you."

Upon hearing this, Wang Bingyao immediately stood up, his eyes practically popping out of their sockets with excitement, and grabbed Li Jiayuan's hand.

"Brother Yuan, you're really something. No need to say anything more, I'll drink this first as a sign of respect."

"From now on, if you need anything, just say the word, and I'll take care of it for you. I'll never shirk my responsibility."

"Okay, okay, then I'll wait for your good news."

"Brother Yuan, take your time eating. I'll go and mobilize the Flying Tigers right now."

Only after Wang Bingyao left the private room did Li Jiayuan leisurely pick up his chopsticks, humming a little tune, and begin to eat.

But after only a couple of bites, I felt it tasted bland and had no appetite at all.

"No matter how skilled the chef is, how delicious the food is, or how similar it is to home cooking, it will never taste the same as home cooking."

"I should go home and see my wives."

Li Jiayuan went out to find a waiter and ordered a few more dishes, packed them all up, and then went home happily.

Back home, Ruan Mei and Huang Lei were still watching TV. When they heard the door open, Ruan Mei got up to greet them.

"Yuan-ge, why are you back so late today? If you come back any later, Leilei won't be able to sleep."

Huang Lei blushed.

"Xiaomei."

He then offered a casual explanation after speaking.

"I didn't wait for you. I just saw Ruan Mei watching TV and getting bored, so I kept her company."

"I~"

Ruan Mei rolled her eyes and took Huang Lei's hand.

"Let's go back to our rooms and sleep."

"Brother Yuan, you'll have to sleep alone tonight."

Li Jiayuan, who had just been laughing, suddenly looked depressed.

I also packed some late-night snacks, but I'm not eating them.

In the early hours of the morning, Wang Bingyao personally led a team to an abandoned warehouse near Shau Kei Wan, based on the address provided by Li Jiayuan.

"Reporting to Inspector Wang, we have located the criminals, and the situation is basically confirmed. The guards are armed with heavy weapons, and their number is unknown."

Wang Bingyao's tense heart, which had been pounding all night, finally relaxed. The news was true, which was great.

As long as the news is true, no matter what kind of terrorist they are, they all have to be brought to justice here.

He was afraid that the information Li Jiayuan gave him was inaccurate. If there was a problem with the information, then his big move tonight would become a complete joke.

Fortunately, Li Jiayuan was quite capable; he knew such important intelligence.

Now it's my turn, Wang Bingyao, to step forward and make a public appearance.

"On my command, surround them and don't let any criminal escape!"
