Chen Rou took it without any hesitation, tore off a pigeon leg, and took a big bite.
Master Dong looked at Master Er again, and well, this time it was Master Er's turn to be smug.
Grandpa Er was furious because he genuinely liked his granddaughter Chen Rou. When she suddenly ran up to him and stole his abalone, the feeling of being blatantly offended by someone he trusted and loved was indescribably wonderful.
But that old codger Dong is a shrewd copycat; he always tries to steal from him and imitate him.
He really wished he could pull out a gun and shoot him dead.
But seeing his granddaughter eating so happily, he suppressed his anger and looked at her with loving eyes: "Eat slowly, eat slowly."
Chen Rou is so talented at acting cute that Huo Sir was completely stunned.
But in Chen Rou's view, it was not a talent, but because she had no relatives since childhood, longed for relatives and affection, and always liked to watch how other children acted coquettishly towards their elders. She learned a lot and became good at doing it.
Giving her a hard time was meant to be a way of giving her a taste of the benefits, but once that was done, her core principle remained unchanged: Kowloon must uphold the rule of law and require police intervention. So, after dinner, she would subtly shift back to the main topic and advocate for Fok Sir's voice.
She had almost finished the whole pigeon when she casually started a conversation, saying, "There's a roast pigeon place in Kowloon that's always been pretty good. I was thinking of inviting my husband, Ah Han, and Bao Yuyan to go eat there together."
Grandpa Er knew: "Liu's Roasted Pigeon Restaurant is near my house. You can come anytime, and I'll ask the owner to roast it well."
Chen Rou subtly changed the subject, saying, "Of course I can go anytime, but what about the other girls?"
Master Er's eyes suddenly darkened, because he had a rough idea that Chen Rou's purpose today was to have Huo Qi seize his power.
But if it's 1997 and he can't fight city hall, he's willing to back down.
But Huo Qi is just a British Royal Police officer, and Kowloon is not a concession, so why should Huo Qi be in charge of them?
Master Dong immediately realized the problem, and when it came to power, he and Master Er were of the same mind. At this moment, they exchanged a glance, and of course, they had already figured out how to refute Chen Rou.
But Chen Rou said this: "Mr. Er, Mr. Dong, you two are big shots in Kowloon now, and you will be in the future. The citizens of Kowloon need your help."
The two big shots exchanged a glance, both a little confused, wondering if they had misjudged her thoughts.
But she immediately added, "However, security and counter-terrorism are not your areas of expertise. For example, serious incidents such as murder, terrorism, and drug trafficking seriously affect the security of Kowloon and the safety of citizens' lives. Since the police are more professional and experienced in these areas, you should leave them to the police."
She couldn't possibly wipe out the Kowloon triads on her own.
Moreover, with so many gangsters in Kowloon, what will they do if their gangs are suddenly gone?
Therefore, abolishing the gang directly is not realistic. Chen Rou's goal is simply to introduce the rule of law and public order.
To be honest, Huo Qi wished he could write down what she just said in a notebook.
Although she was helping him fight for power from the two big shots, she was not aggressive at all. On the contrary, although she spoke in an official manner, she was also very sincere. She was also speaking from the perspective of a Kowloon citizen, standing at the most simple and reasonable point of view, which left the two big shots unable to refute her.
As expected, after a long silence, Mr. Er nodded: "I agree to hand over this serious incident to Inspector Huo."
Master Dong is no scholar; he thinks the same way. But Master Er, that old fellow, looks sickly, but whenever it comes to expressing his opinion, he's always one step ahead of him.
This time, Mr. Dong was not going to play the role of a cunning fellow. He raised his teacup and used tea instead of wine: "Officer Huo, from now on, I'll be entrusting all cases involving terrorism and violence in Kowloon, as well as cases involving the personal safety of women, to you."
Inspector Huo quickly stood up, holding his teacup: "I will certainly live up to your expectations and manage the security situation in Kowloon."
He glanced at Chen Rou again, raised his glass in a toast, and they smiled at each other, everything understood without words.
Thus, a chance event accelerated the rule of law in Kowloon. If Ye could go back to a day earlier, he would never have allowed Brother Chicken to sabotage and cause trouble for Master Dong.
When he calmed down and thought about it, he felt particularly regretful, because if he hadn't been envious of Mr. Dong's good charity work and wanted to sabotage him, none of this would have happened.
Before they knew it, it was time for them to leave after the meal.
When it comes to underhanded tactics, Master Er is always more skilled than Master Dong. Even when he leaves, he has to think things through. So when he got up and went out with Master Dong, he seemed to be going to take the elevator downstairs with Master Dong, but just as the elevator arrived, he suddenly said that he needed to go to the toilet, so he postponed it.
Now that the elevator has arrived, Mr. Dong has no choice but to leave.
He was broad-minded and didn't care about short-term gains or losses. He was still focused on doing charity work, so he said with a smile, "Ah Rou, in the past few days, some descendants of bosses from the mainland who used to do business with me have contacted me. They said they want to invite me to visit the mainland. I thought, since I have a lot of money in my account anyway, and you can't take it with you when you die, it's a good opportunity to go to the mainland to make some investments and do some charity work. What do you think?"
If someone wants to do charity, how can they not have connections?
Chen Rou wanted to give the old man some encouragement, so she smiled and said, "If you want to go, just let me know in advance, and I'll go with you."
That's exactly what Grandpa Dong wants. He's an old man living alone, and money is something you can't take with you when you die. What he lacks is family affection. He's willing to spend money as long as it can be bought with affection, and he's happy as long as his granddaughter is willing to spend time with him.
