If he had the ability to help, Song Yuanchao would very much like to help Nie Han so that she wouldn't have to work so hard.
Unfortunately, he is not highly educated and cannot help, especially since Nie Han is a master's graduate from the University of Hong Kong.
But a ridiculous thought also popped into his mind: how wonderful it would be if he could stay in the Nie family forever.
He no longer had that absurd infatuation with Chen Rou, but she was still a rare confidante for him besides his comrades.
Little A Yuan is so cute, and neither Nie Jiajun nor Nie Jiayu are bad kids. Miss Nie Han is even more so. He watched her grow up and transform from an innocent little girl into a dashing and beautiful woman.
Reason told him he should go back.
But he refused Chen Ke's offer: "Captain Chen, I don't need a partner."
Chen Ke stopped in his tracks: "Nonsense! If you don't get married, who will do your laundry and cook for you?"
Song Yuanchao didn't like hearing this: "Boss, you're not bringing a wife home just to do laundry and cook, I can do those too."
Chen Ke asked again, "Even if you can take care of yourself, what about the child? Someone else has to give birth to it, right?"
Song Yuanchao choked for a moment, but said, "I won't have any more children. A Yuan is still my godson. He'll take care of me in my old age."
Ah Yuan couldn't understand Mandarin, but he could intuitively tell that the two uncles were talking about him.
He said, "Oh?"
He can't even control his bladder, yet people are expecting him to support them in their old age?
Chen Ke was stumped by Song Yuanchao's retort, and it took him a while to say, "You're daydreaming and having wild fantasies!"
As the two were chatting, Chen Rou called. It was already noon, so the two went back.
But Chen Ke still had to give one last piece of advice: "Yuan Chao, you should still prioritize your personal development. Go back to the capital as soon as possible. Your future will only be brighter than ours. I'm helping you now."
Originally, the higher-ups wanted to send more police forces and entrust Song Yuanchao with an important task: to coordinate the work between the two police forces. However, this task was now being done by Chen Ke, and Song Yuanchao had been undercover for too long and had been exposed extensively. To avoid any negative impact, he could only be transferred to the inland areas instead of the coastal areas.
That also means that he will not be able to come to Hong Kong again before retiring.
Even if he's confused, Song Yuanchao still wants to work for a longer period, at least until Nie Han gets married.
He said, "Boss, I'll handle my own affairs."
Chen Ke said, "You'll submit your report as soon as Zhang Ziqiang's matter is over. I've never helped anyone with back channels, and I'm only helping you this once."
Once Zhang Ziqiang's matter is settled, Chen Ke will go to the capital.
Master Er and Master Dong probably need to talk to the old leader before they can escape the purge.
With so many men under his command, Chen Ke even pushed Yue Zhongqi aside, only wanting to help Song Yuanchao.
If he doesn't take the lead, Chen Ke will be very angry.
...
At the empty escalator entrance of the bus station, a group of people were drinking water voraciously.
Yue Zhongqi and Chen Rou, of course, did not go into the sewer. Maozi Ge had inexhaustible strength, so he and Wang Baodao went in for a walk. Because the water was too deep, their clothes were soaked and they were covered in stench.
Of course, sewers are naturally dirty and smelly.
But Wang Baodao made a good discovery. He took out his water-soaked notebook, opened it, and said, "This is a large drainage channel built by the Japanese army when they landed on the island in the 1940s. Although the project was never completed, it handled 60% of Kowloon's sewage drainage. I found a rough map of it, and you can see that its starting point is about 500 meters away from Yau Ma Tei."
Because the Municipal Affairs Bureau refused to share information, and because Kowloon's drainage system was so chaotic, they were essentially groping in the dark.
Yau Ma Tei is where Cheung Tze-keung lives. If this main drainage channel is only 500 meters away from him, could there be other smaller drainage channels connected to it, which would connect to his house and make it easier for him to get in and out?
If that's the case, wouldn't that also mean he could enter and exit anywhere in Kowloon through the sewers?
He's truly both a powerful dragon and a local tyrant.
Wang Baodao's specialty is reconnaissance. Back in Lvsun, Chen Rou took him up in a helicopter for a few minutes, and he was able to draw the entire island. Now, back in the sewers, look, he's already found the map.
Yue Zhongqi sincerely praised, "I knew it, I was sure to choose you."
But upon looking at the map, he was puzzled again: "But your map doesn't label place names or scales, it just has a few lines. How can you be sure that the starting point is exactly 500 meters from Yau Ma Tei?"
Wang Baodao explained, "Captain, although it's not on the map, we can calculate the actual distance by scaling down the length and width of Kowloon proportionally. If we use that distance to find it, we can't go wrong."
Yue Zhongqi said, "I mainly don't trust the Japanese army. Damn it, they actually built drainage ditches when they came here?"
Brother Mao gave a thumbs up and said, "This section of the drainage channel is the widest and best in all of Kowloon."
Wang Baodao said, "If you're not a professional, don't question it. Just go to the right place, you can't go wrong."
Chen Ke said, "Bao Dao, you go with him to search. I'll come back and take over after I get off work tonight. We must find that passage as soon as possible, otherwise... as you've all seen, underground, Zhang Ziqiang is invincible."
Yue Zhongqi put his hands on his hips and sighed, "It's really strange. Master Er and Master Dong are powerful enough, with so many gangsters under their command, but their familiarity with Kowloon is not as good as Cheung Tze-keung's. I'm starting to doubt their abilities."
Wang Baodao nodded, and Mao Zige took a swig of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor) and shook his head with a smile; they both found it hard to understand.
Only Chen Ke sighed and said, "Actually, this is quite normal. Even if the locals in Kowloon are poor and struggling, they are still a force to be reckoned with. At worst, they're involved in gangs. But it's different for mainlanders crossing the border. They are the lowest of the low in Kowloon. At least the locals can live on the surface, but those who smuggle themselves in mostly live in the sewers and do the dirtiest and smelliest work, like cleaning the sewers. Over time, they naturally become more familiar with Kowloon's underground than the locals. Zhang Ziqiang's escape route was one he forged himself."
