Republic of China: My great warlord, many children, many blessings.

As soon as I returned to the branch office, Jin Yanxi drove up.

With an excited expression, he said to Shen Hao, "Brother Shen, I finally know the kind of woman you were talking about who could move my heart!"

After saying that, he handed Shen Hao a photo.

"Brother Shen, look, it's her, but I don't know where this girl lives."

After taking Jin Yanxi's photo and looking at it carefully, I realized that this was the woman named Leng Qingqiu.

With Leng Qingqiu by his side, Jin Yanxi abandoned Bai Xiuzhu.

This is great news.

Thinking of this, Shen Hao smiled and said, "Then congratulations, Brother Jin, on finding your ideal woman."

Jin Yanxi sighed and said, "That's true, but I don't know where this woman lives, which is why I came to Brother Shen for help."

Upon hearing this, Shen Hao's heart stirred.

Although he didn't know where Leng Qingqiu lived, Fang Yanyun definitely did.

Jin Runzhi must have known as well.

Shen Hao said, "You want me to help you investigate this woman's residence?"

Jin Yanxi said, "Yes, I will definitely repay you handsomely once we find it."

Shen Hao smiled and patted Jin Yanxi on the shoulder, saying, "Don't worry, there won't be any problems."

Jin Yanxi's face immediately broke into a bright smile.

She took Shen Hao's hand and led him to the car.

"Come on, Brother Shen, I'm treating you to dinner today, you can't refuse. You've helped me a lot, and I haven't had a chance to thank you yet."

Shen Hao said, "We're all brothers, no need to be so polite."

"No, I have to treat you to a meal, otherwise I'll feel bad."

After Jin Yanxi finished speaking, he stepped on the gas and drove the car out of the police station.

Looking at the little rickshaw, Shen Hao was itching to get one himself.

Riding in a horse-drawn carriage is nowhere near as comfortable as riding in a car.

However, Shen Hao doesn't have enough money yet; he's not at the point where he can afford to buy a foreign car.

Forty thousand silver dollars could buy a small prince's mansion.

Soon, they arrived at Chunyuanlou Restaurant in Dong'an Market.

When the waiter saw Jin Yanxi, his eyes lit up immediately, and he hurriedly bowed and said:

"Oh, Mr. Jin, you've arrived! Please come upstairs."

Jin Yanxi removed his sunglasses and said calmly, "Bring me the best food and wine; I'm entertaining distinguished guests."

Xiao Er looked at the epaulets on Shen Hao's police uniform and exclaimed in surprise, "Oh my, so you're a bureau chief! Look at my eyes, they must be blind!"

"Go upstairs quickly!"

Shen Hao ignored the waiter and went upstairs with Jin Yanxi.

Suddenly, a fat man, about forty years old, with a bald head and a fierce face, walked in arrogantly with a crab-like gait.

He wore a jade thumb ring on his right hand, held two walnuts in his hand, and hummed a song while laughing.

Upon seeing this person, countless memories flooded Shen Hao's mind.

Liu Siye, from the south of the city, was a loan shark, ran a gambling den, trafficked people, and also operated a rickshaw company.

It's fair to say they've done all sorts of bad things.

Shen Hao's original family fortune was won by this guy through a scheme.

Upon seeing this, Shen Hao narrowed his eyes.

They never hold grudges; if they do, they settle the score on the spot.

How about we have the assassins rob this guy's gambling den tonight?

The more I think about it, the more feasible it becomes.

Without alerting the enemy, Jin Yanxi and I went upstairs to the second floor.

Upon reaching the second floor, someone suddenly called out, "Brother Jin, over here!"

Shen Hao and Jin Yanxi looked over upon hearing the voice, and the person who came was none other than Lu Chengwu, who had surrounded the police station that day.

"Brother Lu, what are you doing here?" Jin Yanxi asked in surprise.

Shen Hao also greeted him, "Director Lu."

Lu Chengwu was taken aback, then remembered.

"Oh, so you're the bureau chief now? Congratulations, Bureau Chief Shen!"

There was little respect in their words.

The reason he greeted him was because Shen Hao had given him a snuff bottle at their wedding.

It is a Western-made enamel snuff bottle from the Qianlong era, and it is quite valuable.

Jin Yanxi smiled and said, "Since we all know each other, let's sit down and eat together."

Lu Chengwu smiled and said, "No problem."

After taking their seats, Jin Yanxi asked in confusion, "Brother Lu, why are you drinking alone?"

Lu Chengwu said dejectedly, "Hey, Brother Jin, you don't know, money runs out fast right after a wedding."

So, recently I've had my eye on a new car, but I'm short on cash and can't get the money. My dad won't let me go looking for free rides or do anything reckless. Ugh, so frustrating!

Jin Yanxi had originally wanted to help, but upon hearing this, he immediately fell silent.

The cheapest car costs 40,000 yuan, which he doesn't have the means to afford.

This car belongs to Jin Quan, and it is his official vehicle.

Shen Hao glanced at Liu Si downstairs and had an idea in mind.

Having abandoned the idea of ​​sending assassins to rob Liu Si, wouldn't this guy be even easier to use?

So Shen Hao offered, "Director Lu, I have a way to get money legitimately without being questioned by my superiors."

Lu Chengwu's eyes lit up, and he smiled, "Director Shen, please speak. If this matter is resolved, I will remember your favor."

Shen Hao shook his head and said, "No need for that. It's only right for friends to help each other. It's not like I'm asking for a favor and not being obligated to help."

Jin Yanxi asked curiously, "Brother Shen, tell me quickly, what's your plan to let me get a share too?"

He's been short on money and under a lot of pressure lately.

Shen Hao said, "There are many gambling dens, opium dens, and human traffickers in the capital. As long as we crack down on them under the pretext of searching for rebels, all the money we collect will be confiscated."

This way, the public will not only applaud, but it will also avoid public pressure.

Lu Chengwu's eyes lit up and he said, "This is a good idea. I'm very familiar with searching for rebels."

40. Rewards for completing the task

As he spoke, he became incredibly happy.

"Director Shen is really quick-witted. Why don't you come with me? I guarantee you'll live a life of luxury."

Shen Hao shook his head and said, "Director Lu, forget it. I'm afraid of dying, and the army isn't for me."

"Haha, I'll take care of all your food and drinks today!"

With that, Lu Chengwu left happily.

Jin Yanxi really admired Shen Hao; he was good at everything.

After finishing their meal, Jin Yanxi took Shen Hao home.

He repeatedly asked Shen Hao to help him find Leng Qingqiu.

That evening, Shen Hao and Tao Yingying held a simple wedding ceremony.

The ceremony was then complete.

The reason Shen Hao was unwilling to make a big fuss was simply that he felt it was better to keep a low profile in Beijing.

After Shen Hao inserted the key and drove off,

The system beep sounded again.
