Hong Kong variety show: My cheat program refreshes weekly.

Chapter 27 Li Qiao, the lover, is cleared of suspicion.

Lin Long escorted Chen Meirong into his office before driving away from the hospital.

Half an hour later, he circled the streets a few times and turned into a flower shop in Central.

Qiaoqiao Flower House.

The shop is managed by Lin Long's woman, Li Qiao. Although she is called his girlfriend, she is more like his lover.

Li Qiao came to Hong Kong from the mainland with a legal visa, but after her visa expired, she didn't leave and instead worked illegally in the kitchen of McDonald's.

By then, Lin Long had already made a name for himself in the underworld and was financially well-off. Without hesitation, he bought this shop for her in the prime real estate of Central, and sent her a monthly allowance, easily keeping her by his side.

The flowers I gave to Chen Meirong earlier were all ordered from this store; frankly, it was just transferring money from one hand to the other.

"Brother Long, you're here!"

Li Qiao looked up and saw him, her eyebrows instantly curving into crescent moons as she smiled and greeted him.

Life has become more comfortable, and she is no longer the timid country girl who used to wear faded work clothes.

She wore an apricot-colored cotton-linen dress with a floral print, over which she wore a soft, beige knitted cardigan, the sleeves casually rolled up to her forearms, revealing a delicate silver bracelet on her wrist.

She wore a pair of polished white low-heeled Mary Jane shoes, and flesh-colored short stockings that accentuated her slender ankles. The hem of her skirt occasionally brushed against the shoes, carrying a faint scent of gardenias.

Her long, black, curly hair was loosely tied into a low bun and secured with a wooden hairpin, with two wisps of hair hanging down her temples, swaying gently with her movements.

The pearl stud earrings on her earlobes were small and exquisite, and when she smiled, the earrings shimmered with a delicate light.

She's now a graceful and charming young woman working in a flower shop, a stark contrast to the naive working girl she once was.

Indeed, money is the best nourishment.

"Mm." Lin Long reached out and put his arm around her slender waist, then handed her an exquisitely packaged Prada handbag. "This is for you."

"Thank you, Brother Long!" Li Qiao's eyes lit up. She stood on tiptoe and planted a kiss with a floral scent on his cheek before happily accepting the handbag.

The moment her fingertips touched the bag, she sensed something was wrong; it was too heavy.

Upon unzipping the zipper, one finds it stuffed full of stacks of cash, topped with a complete set of dazzling jewelry.

Necklaces, earrings, rings, bracelets, and even an exquisite brooch set with tiny diamonds, shimmering dazzlingly in the sunlight.

Li Qiao's heart skipped a beat. Excitedly, she hugged Lin Long's neck and gave him a lingering kiss, her voice soft and sweet: "Husband, you're so good to me."

Lin Long chuckled, picked her up around the waist, strode up to the second floor, hooked his foot behind the door, and casually hung up the "Closed for Business" sign on the door.

Two hours later.

Lin Long leaned back on the sofa, took out a folded piece of paper from his pocket, and handed it to Li Qiao: "Two more new orders. Send someone to deliver them to the address on the paper on time every day."

The note had two addresses, one of which was Mingxin Hospital.

Now that we've started sending flowers to Chen Meirong, we have to keep doing it.

Stop being attentive once you've won her over; that's petty. After all, it's your own money, and you're still making her happy, so why not?

The other address was No. 2 Po Ching Street, Central, with the recipients listed as Wenwen, Ah Zhen, Ah De, and Ah Min.

With his current tasks completed, it was time for him to take the initiative; he couldn't let these four beauties slip through his fingers.

"Understood, Brother Long." Li Qiao carefully put away the note and memorized the address.

Lin Long opened this flower shop for her, but she was never a parasite who could reap the benefits without contributing. Every day, she would open the shop early to tend to the flowers, count the orders, and keep the shop in perfect order.

She knew in her heart that she couldn't just be a woman who depended on him; she should be able to help his career in order to truly gain a foothold.

Even if Lin Long gets tired of her and dumps her, she won't have to return to the mainland in a sorry state.

However, Li Qiao was not worried about this. The longer she spent with Lin Long, the more she realized how strong this man's possessiveness was.

After resting for a while, the two went downstairs.

Lin Long took a heavy brown paper bag from the car and handed it to her: "This contains 100,000 yuan, the payment for these two flower orders."

One thing at a time: the money in Prada's bag was his secret stash of money for her, while the money in this leather bag was the flower shop's legitimate operating income. Only by keeping the accounts straight can the shop continue to operate in the long run.

"I have something to do, I'll be going now."

"Call me if anything happens." Lin Long got into the car.

Li Qiao took the leather bag, leaned over, and kissed him on the cheek: "Honey, be careful."

Lin Long kissed her delicate cheek in return and drove away from Central.

More than ten minutes later.

Southern District Police Station.

Because of Boss Guan's case, Senior Inspector Miao Zhishun of the Major Crimes Unit is still looking for him everywhere. He needs to settle this matter completely to avoid being entangled in trouble later.

Lin Long offered himself up and was quickly led into the main room.

Senior Inspector Miao Zhishun of the Major Crimes Unit personally led a team to take his statement.

"Lin Long, why did you run away last time?"

"Officer, I thought you were from the Mong Kok Police Station."

"What do you mean?" Miao Zhishun frowned slightly and asked.

Lin Long confessed, "I offended Inspector Miao of the Mong Kok Police Station. He's been giving me trouble lately. I thought you were on his side, so I decided to run away first."

"What did you do to offend him?"

"Uh, officer, you probably won't believe me even if I tell you, but you can go to the Mong Kok Police Station and ask around. His men all know the truth."

Miao Zhishun stared sharply at Lin Long and continued his questioning: "Then why did you come to the Southern District Police Station today?"

"My friend called me and said you wanted me to cooperate with an investigation. Since it's a misunderstanding, I naturally have to come and clarify things."

Which friend of yours?

"Wenwen from Zhanji Auto Company."

Miao Zhishun nodded slightly upon hearing this. This did match the information he had. When he was investigating the case of Boss Guan's disappearance, he had indeed asked Wenwen about Lin Long's background.

Do you know Boss Guan?

"I know him." Lin Long nodded frankly, but his tone still carried a hint of impatience: "He caused me trouble before, wanting to raise the rent for my car dealership thirty times for no reason. When we couldn't reach an agreement, he sent people to smash up my shop."

"He's missing now, did you know?"

"I really don't know." Lin Long shrugged, looking helpless. "Ever since he came to cause trouble, I've closed the car dealership. I've been looking for a new location to reopen. I haven't had time to deal with his business."

Lin Long's words were impeccable, and his expression and tone were flawless.

Seeing that he couldn't get any useful information out of him, Miao Zhishun simply stopped the interrogation for the time being and personally called Miao Zhizhong to inquire about Lin Long.

Miao Zhizhong hung up the phone without saying anything. Seeing this, Miao Zhishun had no choice but to send his men to inquire.

A short while later, the subordinate hurriedly returned and whispered a report in Miao Zhishun's ear.

The fact that Lin Long cheated on Miao Zhizhong was practically an open secret at the Mong Kok Police Station; anyone could find out the whole story with just a little inquiry.

In this way, Lin Long's motive for escaping last time makes perfect sense.

After a moment's consideration, Miao Zhishun concluded that Lin Long and Boss Guan were unlikely to be involved in the disappearances.

But because of Miao Zhizhong's matter, he looked at Lin Long and said in a cold tone: "Although this matter has nothing to do with you for the time being, you must be available immediately if there is any need for your cooperation later."

"Here is my contact information. You can call me if you have any leads."

"Also, you'd better stay away from Chen Meirong, otherwise I'll keep coming to you to cooperate with the investigation."

Miao Zhishun took out a business card and handed it to Lin Long, his words carrying a threatening tone.

"Miao Sir, police-community cooperation is what we good citizens should do."

"However, my affairs with Chen Meirong are none of your business."

"I was just playing around, it's none of your business." Lin Long took the business card and glanced at Miao Zhishun.

"What did you say?" Miao Zhishun was instantly enraged upon hearing this. Miao Zhizhong originally intended to remarry Chen Meirong, but Lin Long interfered and stole Chen Meirong away.

Lin Long still says it's just for fun, how can Miao Zhishun not be angry?

"You already heard that." Lin Long shrugged and walked out of the South District Police Station with a nonchalant expression.

As the sunlight fell, half of his face was in the sunlight and half in the shadow, and a smile that no one else could see appeared at the corner of his mouth.
