"Hey, that guy is Jiang Lai!" Ah Le walked to the water dispenser behind the cabinet and whispered to Ah Chen next to him.
"Nonsense, I'm not deaf." Ah Chen glanced at Jiang Lai while taking the opportunity.
After all, the room was only so big, and Jiang Lai didn't hide anything. He and Brother Hua also heard Jiang Lai's name.
"Looks...it doesn't seem quite like the description." Ah Chen looked at Jiang Lai, who seemed refined and gentle, and not as exaggerated as the rumors suggested.
In Ah Le's mind, Jiang Lai, as a triad boss, was at least the kind of person who looked fierce and menacing, if not exactly a dragon on the left and a tiger on the right. But after actually meeting Jiang Lai, his impression was quite different.
Upon hearing Ah Chen's words, Ah Le subconsciously glanced in Jiang Lai's direction.
"This guy... probably is!!" Ah Le was actually a little doubtful, but recalling Chen Guozhong's confirmation, he chose to believe him.
"So you're saying he killed Wang Bao?"
Ah Chen still found it hard to believe that someone like Wang Bao could be defeated by this seemingly refined man in front of him.
"He said his name is Jiang Lai, you heard him!"
"Besides, who cares if he's that Jiang Lai or not? Wouldn't it be better if Wang Bao were dead?"
The two were discussing in hushed tones...
"Cough!! Cough!!"
"Keep your voice down, as if you're afraid others won't hear you?!" Hua Ge sighed helplessly and whispered a reminder to the two of them.
"Oh!" The two immediately fell silent.
...........
Although the voices of the group were not loud, Jiang Lai could hear them clearly.
Jiang Lai didn't care about this.
Instead, he looked in the direction of Ah Le and the others, a smile appearing on his lips, finding it quite amusing.
"I'll take the tea to him first." Ah Le noticed Jiang Lai's gaze, so he quickly picked up the teacup.
Ah Le, holding a cup of tea, walked towards Jiang Lai.
"Please have some tea!" Ah Le placed the teacup on the table in front of Jiang Lai and couldn't help but glance at Jiang Lai a few more times.
"Thank you!" Jiang Lai raised his teacup in a gesture of thanks.
Jiang Lai took a sip of the tea; the taste was so-so, but he found it rather interesting.
Other gangsters are most afraid of being taken in for questioning by the police, but it turned out that he actually ended up at the police station for questioning.
"Hey, want a cigarette?" Ah Le took out a pack of Marlboro cigarettes from his pocket, took one out, and asked Jiang Lai.
Jiang Lai looked up, smiled at A Le, and said, "Okay!"
As he spoke, Jiang Lai took a Marlboro from Ah Le and held it between his fingers.
*Snap! Whoosh!*
Orange-red flames burst forth, accompanied by wisps of blue smoke rising, as Jiang Lai gently exhaled.
Chapter 152 Help Me with Things
Seeing Jiang Lai light a cigarette, Ah Le also lit one for himself.
call!
"I heard you're the one who killed Wang Bao?" Ah Le exhaled a puff of smoke and sat down on the chair next to him.
After a brief observation, Ah Le felt that Jiang Lai was quite easy to talk to, and his behavior was quite different from that of ordinary gangsters.
"Wang Bao is indeed dead!" Jiang Lai confirmed that Wang Bao was dead, but did not admit that he was the one who did it.
"This guy is quite vigilant." Jiang Lai and A Le's words were naturally overheard by Hua Ge and A Chen.
"So what!"
If we're talking about the entire police station, the only ones who probably have absolutely no ill will towards Jiang Lai are these three.
After all, they had embezzled a sum of money from Wang Bao, a fact that even Chen Guozhong was unaware of. Now that Wang Bao was dead, they could finally rest easy.
"Judging from your appearance, you don't seem to have been taken back to the police station?" Seeing that Jiang Lai did not respond directly, Ah Le frowned slightly, but did not ask any further questions. Instead, he was quite curious about how Jiang Lai got to the police station.
"Of the people you brought back, is there anyone who can sit here and have some tea?" Jiang Lai asked rhetorically, looking at Ah Le with amusement.
"Then why did you come to the police station with the boss?" Jiang Lai's words made Ah Le even more curious.
Jiang Lai gave A-Le a meaningful look and said calmly, "Chen Guozhong said that I should give him face."
"So you came?" Ah Le was a little surprised. Did the boss have that much influence?
"He's almost dead... Do you think I need to give him face?" Jiang Lai took a sip of tea and spoke calmly.
"What did you say?" Ah Le suddenly stood up, staring sharply at Jiang Lai. He had misunderstood Jiang Lai's meaning.
"Ah Le!!" Brother Hua suddenly shouted.
He was behind them, listening to their conversation the whole time.
Seeing Ah Le suddenly stand up, they immediately sensed something was wrong and quickly stopped him.
He then quickly walked up to Jiang Lai and A Le.
"Brother Hua!!" Ah Le looked at Brother Hua with some confusion.
"They...don't know yet?" Jiang Lai looked at Hua Ge with a questioning gaze, pointing at Ah Le and Ah Chen.
Jiang Lai remembered that Hua Ge had already told them about Chen Guozhong's cancer diagnosis, since they had taken all of Wang Bao's money.
Without immediately responding to Jiang Lai, Hua Ge revealed a fact that was difficult for the two of them to accept.
"Brother Zhong has cancer!!"
After he finished speaking, Brother Hua lowered his head, looking somewhat sad.
"what?"
"what?"
Wah Gor's words struck Ah Lok and Ah Chen like a bolt of lightning. The two were shocked and looked at Wah Gor in disbelief.
Facing their gazes, Brother Hua slowly closed his eyes and then nodded heavily.
He confirmed this fact once again.
"This..." For a moment, the two were at a loss, finding it difficult to face this fact.
The scene suddenly fell silent.
After a moment, Hua Ge raised his head and looked at Jiang Lai: "Then why did you come to the police station?"
"I wanted to come... so I came." Jiang Lai said casually, a thought suddenly flashing through his mind, and then continued, "Or rather... part of the reason is because you guys came!!"
"Because of us?" Upon hearing Jiang Lai's words, the three of them simultaneously looked up at Jiang Lai, their eyes filled with surprise.
"What do you mean by that?" Brother Hua asked, his eyes narrowing slightly, somewhat puzzled.
Ah Le and Ah Chen also stared at Jiang Lai, waiting for him to give an explanation.
call!
"Think about it, how about you help me with some things in the future?" Jiang Lai exhaled a puff of smoke and spoke calmly.
Huh? The three of them were taken aback.
"Ah!"
"Trying to bribe us?" Brother Hua sneered, his expression disdainful.
"Kid, do you know what crime it is to bribe a police officer?" Ah Chen's face also showed a mocking smile.
"It's not a bribe, and I didn't intend to bribe you. It wouldn't be right to say I'm trying to buy you off either!" Jiang Lai continued calmly, unconcerned about their reaction.
"So what exactly do you mean?" Hua Ge put away his expression and looked at Jiang Lai seriously.
"It's a matter of helping each other out!"
"I'll keep your secret!!"
"In exchange for your help, if I ever need your assistance later on, just let me know!"
"How is it?" Jiang Lai asked calmly, his expression unchanged.
Although Jiang Lai wasn't afraid of the police, he knew that when you're out in the game, you're bound to need their help sometimes. It was just a spur-of-the-moment decision that led him to make this request.
Upon hearing Jiang Lai's words, the three of them instinctively narrowed their eyes, their gazes turning sharp.
"What a joke, what secrets could we possibly have?" Brother Hua said sternly, his attitude imposing.
"Is that so?" Jiang Lai glanced at the three of them calmly and raised an eyebrow.
The three of them couldn't help but slightly avoid Jiang Lai's gaze.
"Wang Bao has a bag of money that's gone!" Jiang Lai raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of mockery in his voice: "Where do you think it went, or... should I just tell Chen Guozhong?"
Upon hearing Jiang Lai's words, the three were startled, and their expressions changed instantly.
Jiang Lai's words made their hearts sink to the bottom. Their expressions turned cold as they looked at Jiang Lai, and Ah Le even stood up and stood next to the two of them.
"What you said, I..." Hua Ge tried to continue covering up.
"Alright, stop arguing. Do I look like someone who would talk nonsense?" Jiang Lai was getting impatient. Now that things had come to this point, what was the point of admitting it or not?
Hua was a little embarrassed, and the atmosphere fell silent. Hua and Chen exchanged a glance, and a murderous intent flashed in their eyes.
"What do you want us to do?" Brother Hua asked in a deep voice.
“I don’t know!!” Jiang Lai said calmly, with a slight smile on his face, which was out of place with the tense atmosphere among the three of them.
"Hmm?" Hua Ge looked at Jiang Lai with some confusion.
"I haven't decided yet. I'll let you know when I need to!" Jiang Lai said nonchalantly.
"We can't help you with things that cross the line!" Brother Hua said warily, his eyes narrowing slightly.
"Don't worry, you have your bottom line, and I have my principles!" Jiang Lai said calmly.
Jiang Lai would naturally not allow them to do anything immoral or immoral, and even if they were to do it, he wouldn't need them.
