Chapter 157
Madward has been the Governor of Hong Kong for two years and has never seen anyone dare to confront him. His blue eyes were full of confusion. He looked at Zhou Zhi, "Who is this lady?"
Zhou Zhi recognized the jewelry Chu Yueling was wearing at a glance. It was the same set he gave to his lifesaver. He
reacted.
He smiled and said, "She is my distinguished guest."
Xu Dan couldn't help but cover her mouth in shock, "Hello?"
Chu Yueling also recognized Sister Dan. She didn't expect that the sister who had gone shopping and drinking coffee with her was actually Officer Zhou's mother.
She winked at Xu Dan mischievously, "Sister Dan, the world is really small."
Madward's face was slightly gloomy. The British side asked him to win over the powerful people in Hong Kong. Even if he really returned, he had to bring the prosperous economy of the local area back to Britain.
Since she was a distinguished guest of the Zhou family, he naturally didn't want to offend her.
But the lost face still needs to be recovered, otherwise how can he be the governor of a port?
"Miss Chu, you may have misunderstood. I was just introducing my daughter to the Zhou family. My daughter was born into a noble family and is a real lady of fame. Compared with Eric's unknown sweetheart, my daughter must be more perfect."
"As old friends, it is naturally best to be close relatives." At the end of his speech, Ma Huade smiled and sarcastically said.
"Hong Kong is a celebrity society. You can tell from your accent that you are from the mainland, right? You value freedom and equality, and you may not understand the character and integrity passed down by our ancient families."
"Sorry, I really can't understand your family style." Chu Yue smiled lightly, "If the daughter knew that she was used as a bargaining chip or a commodity to show off, I wonder what she would think of the character and integrity."
Ma Huade was silent, secretly thinking about how to deal with it.
But he heard the girl say something else.
"Mr. Mak, there have been many governors since Hong Kong was founded, but you are the only one who compares women with each other as commodities. I have seen the gentlemanly behavior of the British nobles."
"There are only two years left before the return of sovereignty. Before you leave completely, please learn to respect women."
Someone at the scene couldn't help but secretly say "good".
Many ladies heard what Mak Huad said.
Due to Mak Huad's status as the governor of Hong Kong, they dared to be angry but dared not speak out.
Now that Chu Yueqing can speak out for them, the ladies feel much better.
That's right, excellent women never need to compare with each other. Mak Huad did not hesitate to belittle all the women in Hong Kong in order to marry into the Zhou family. This behavior is really disgusting.
Ma Huade's face darkened, and Mrs. Made's hand in lace gloves was stroking the rose beside her hat anxiously.
"Mr. Made." Zhou Zhi smiled, "We are all native Chinese, and we are used to eating Manchu and Han banquets. Western food is really hard to swallow."
One sentence showed his position.
Ma Huade's face turned pale, but he couldn't tear his face off. After all, he had to serve for at least two years. Offending the Zhou family would affect his ability to win over others.
Ma Huade suppressed his anger and left with his wife.
Xu Dan couldn't help but burst out laughing and raised her thumb, "Xingxi, you are such a smart girl. You made the foreigner turn pale with just one sentence."
"Hong Kong women can't compare to his daughter? What an idiot." Zhou Zhi was even more indignant, "If I were his daughter, I would be so angry that I would die. My homework is so hard to study. I finally have good grades, but I am used as a tool for marriage. It's better to have BBQ Siu as my father than to have him!"
"Ah Zhi." Xu Dan looked at him, with an incriminating face, "Tell me the truth, do you think the value of women is like the foreigner? A beautiful job and appearance can only be used to decorate the family? Become a stepping stone for a man's political ambition?"
"Hey." Zhou Zhi felt wronged, "He is him and I am me. In our family, don't women come first?"
"I don't know. Come in and talk to me." Xu Dan grabbed Zhou Zhi's collar, turned around, and waved to Chu Yueqing with a smile.
"Xingqing, Sister Dan has everything here. If you need anything, just ask your family."
"Okay." Chu Yueqing's fair face curved her eyebrows.
A gust of wind blew over, blowing the scattered hair on her face.
She turned around and smiled, handing over the gift box: "Officer Zhou, I wish you a happy birthday."
Zhou Fengxu looked at the girl in a gorgeous dress, and his palms against the side of his pants were wet.
Seeing that no one took it, Chu Yueqing handed the gift box forward again, wondering: "You have chosen a gift for a long time, why don't you open it and take a look?"
In her expectation.
Zhou Fengxu finally opened the gift box.
The watch was a gift that she and Chu Yi had spent a long time selecting at the Friendship Building two days ago. It was blue in color and inlaid with diamonds. It was classy and quiet, and very suitable for Zhou Fengxu's temperament. After
just one look, she ordered the watch.
"Look, I saw you smile, you must like it." Chu Yueqing couldn't help but feel proud. She said that her vision must be right.
"Thank you, I like it very much." Zhou Fengxu took it, held the box tightly, and felt his breathing quicken due to excitement.
Qingqing was so beautiful today that he didn't dare to look at her twice.
He coughed lightly and looked away hurriedly, "Come on, I'll take you to find Ah Ren. Many people from the Serious Cases Department have come, and colleagues from the Forensic Department are also here. It's very lively."
There is also a townhouse next to the mansion.
Chu Yueqing looked around and asked, "Is this your house too?"
"It's my private residence, but I usually rent a house near the police station, so it's been vacant for a long time." Zhou Fengxu considerately helped to open the door. Because of his nervous mood, he couldn't help but pat his elbows after pushing the door.
The two entered the hall.
Chu Yueqing realized that the halls of the villas of the truly wealthy families are very large. Going further in, there is even a small hall that has been set aside as a dance floor.
As soon as she approached, she was immediately stung by the loud music. She pressed her tragus. There were flashing laser lights in the center of the hall, and there were many young men and women dancing. Looking carefully, there were actually many familiar faces from the police station.
Even Inspector Liang took off his coat, swayed his hands and twisted his waist to the rhythm of the music, shouting as he swayed.
A former Inspector.
Chu Yue couldn't help but cover her eyes with one hand and sighed: "It's really unbearable to watch."
"Superintendent Liang has only two hobbies in life." Zhou Fengxu also smiled, turned around and pointed two fingers at her, "One, dating. Two, dancing."
Not far from the dance hall is a set of delicate leather sofas. The bar is filled with beer, foreign liquor, and white wine. Most of the people from the serious crime department are there.
The men wear suits and the women wear dresses.
Circles of people gathered together. In the middle is Shi Boren, and opposite him is Guo Xiao from Group C, playing rock-paper-scissors with excited expressions.
"One dragon, good job, brothers."
"Three horses, four fortunes, five champions, six six six..."
followed by a round of applause, Guo Xiao laughed excitedly.
"Okay! You lose again! Drink!"
Shi Boren lost the fight, so he had to do as he was told. He untied the bow tie that was locking his throat with one hand, picked up the foreign wine on the table and drank it, then put it down and wiped his mouth heroically, "Come on, continue!"
He just glanced to the side and saw Chu Yueying in a black evening dress. The colorful neon lights shone on her. In the dim light, she was so simple and straightforward that she glowed.
"Xingxi? Wow, you're so pretty." Shi Boren said with a smile, "Well, there are four men and one woman, and you're the most beautiful one in Group D."
Luo Qizhong was drinking milk tea nearby. He stretched his neck to look at Shi Yubing, who was chatting with the superintendent of the Public Relations Department in the corner with a sweet smile, and then retracted his gaze: "There are two female madams in Group D. It's not a good thing to have only one beauty, right?"
"Oh." Shi Boren reacted and thought of Shi Yubing's power. He couldn't help but shudder. He crossed his hands and patted the goose bumps on his arms. "If you hadn't told me, I almost forgot that there is an inspector in Group D."
Chu Yuexi sat down on the sofa and looked towards the corner curiously.
There was still sunshine outside, and the room was dim because the curtains were all drawn to create an atmosphere. Officer Shi, with short hair and wearing a red evening gown, was still full of vigor. He was holding a glass of wine and chatting happily with a young man in a suit in front of the window.
Chu Yueqing did not miss the tenderness that the young man could not hide when he looked at Shi Yubing, nor did she ignore the action of the cool Shi Madm reaching out to touch the man's face.
She was shocked and turned around quickly, "Officer Zhou, is Madam dating someone?"
"Yeah." Zhou Fengxu reached out and took a cold Coke and sat down, his eyes followed the look, "It seems like they have been dating for a week."
"Superintendent Liang asked, what do you like to drink? How about iced Coke?" After Zhou Fengxu got the nod, he took a screwdriver and opened the glass jar of Coke, put a straw in it and brought it to Xiaoxiao.
Chu Yuexi grabbed it and took a sip, and couldn't help but nod a thumbs up.
It was icy and cool, and it was really refreshing in the hot summer.
"Brother Xu."
Gan Yizu held a bottle of German beer, stared at Shi Yubing and smiled, "You said that Madam is dating, so does she have no time to take care of us?"
"You just think about it." Chu Yuexi smiled secretly, and before she finished speaking, Gan Yizu widened his eyes, staggered, and the beer all fell on the hem of Chu Yuexi's skirt.
The air suddenly became quiet.
Gan Yizu got up from the ground in frustration, looking around to find the culprit who caused him to fall, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
"It's okay." Chu Yuexi didn't mind, and before she could react, Zhou Fengxu had already taken a bunch of tissues and threw them on her skirt to help soak up the alcohol.
"Come on, your skirt is wet and uncomfortable to wear. I'll take you to change clothes." Zhou Fengxu stood up and took Chu Yuexi to the room on the other side of the hall.
He searched the closet for a long time and found that there were no small-sized clothes. He was upset.
"It doesn't matter, just this one." Chu Yuexi picked a white T-shirt at random, and looked at the restless man again, very confused, "Zhou Fengxu, what's wrong with you today? You always feel absent-minded?"
"Nothing." Zhou Fengxu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He raised his hand and patted his forehead, but still couldn't hide the uneasiness in his heart. He could only put his hand down again, "You change clothes first."
After that, he considerately closed the door.
Until he walked to another room to take out a large bouquet of flowers, his uneasy mood came up again. He walked around uneasily and kept practicing his lines.
He was worried about whether or not Xu Xu would accept him. If she didn't accept him, how could he control his already moved heart, take a step back, and return to the position of a good friend?
The more he thought about it, the more stuffy the air in the house became, so he opened the door to the backyard.
It was getting dark.
The reporter squatting in the grass kept slapping the mosquitoes that were persistently sucking on his legs, and kept looking at the mansion, saying: "Didn't you hear that Zhou Shazhan was holding a birthday party?"
"Why is he nowhere to be seen for so long?"
Last time, the media photographed the temple street fortune teller helping to solve a 20-year-old case. Everyone was surprised that metaphysics could also be used for military power. They also received news that the police station had hired a metaphysician to join the serious crime team for the first time.
In order to explore more unknown truths.
Just as the reporter was trying hard to slap the mosquitoes, the door suddenly creaked.
The sky was a little dark, and the man came out against the light. He was nearly 1.9 meters tall, with a strong figure wearing a white shirt, his eyes were light, and his whole body was full of a reserved demeanor that kept strangers away.
The reporter checked the photo for a long time and confirmed that it was Zhou Fengxu. He pouted a piece of grass root in his mouth and rushed over.
The photographers chased him for a long time.
The reporter held the microphone with an excited expression: "Zhou Shazhan, the crime team recently invited Feng Shui Master Chu to help solve the case. As someone who has always been selfless and known as the Yama in handling cases, what do you think of the police station's superstition?"
Zhou Fengxu faced the reporter who suddenly rushed out and collected his thoughts before he could speak.
Chu Yuening's voice came from behind.
"Sir Zhou, thank you for your clothes."
The reporter was so shocked that his pupils were shaking.
Zhou Fengxu's cold eyes were warmer, and his deep voice was magnetic, "I'm sorry, you disturbed my pursuit of my future wife."
He stretched out his arms to block the person out, but he couldn't get there before.
With a thud, a couple fell out from the other side of the bush.
Zhou Zhi rubbed his old waist, helped Xu Dan to stand up, and smiled awkwardly: "I just happened to pass by, you can continue."
Xu Dan winked at the house, "Keep working hard, don't go into the house if you can't catch up with Xiaoxiao."
The reporter never thought that he could catch such a fierce material just to interview the recent news that the police station had invited Master Xuan.
Immediately, he stuffed the microphone into his backpack and kept backing away, "Zhou Shazhan, you...you are busy, I will go back to the newspaper office first."
After saying that, he ran away at full speed.
At another door, Shi Boren took a group of brothers out to explore the wild food, and saw Zhou Fengxu with a gloomy expression.
He swallowed and pointed behind him: "Brother Xu."
Zhou Fengxu turned around and saw Chu Yueqing wearing a white T-shirt and shorts, standing behind him, covering his ears with his hands, his eyebrows twisted.
"Officer Zhou, please say it again."
"I didn't hear anything."
A minute later.
Zhou Fengxu stood in front of Chu Yueqing holding flowers.
He was very nervous, and his hands kept wiping the sweat on his forehead. He mustered up his courage and took out a stack of documents from his suit pocket.
"Here are a lot of stocks, company shares, various residences, and a salary card. These are all my assets."
Zhou Fengxu organized and brewed a lot of words in his mind.
Finally, for the first time in his life, his eyes revealed his desire without any disguise, and he only said one sentence.
"I really want to go with you, can I?"
Everyone present was silent.
The Zhou family, the most powerful family in Hong Kong, which rich young man from a powerful family does not have pride?
Zhou Fengxu put himself so low.
It is not difficult to see that he really respects Chu Yueqing.
Even if he refuses, he will be the only one embarrassed.
After Zhou Fengxu finished speaking, he was confused and even began to think about failure. No matter how he continued to save their friendship, he would not let Yueqing hate him.
Suddenly.
His hand felt warm and moist, and he looked up in surprise, only to meet the girl's crooked eyes.
"Okay."
Zhou Fengxu smiled and shook her hand back.
Suddenly, applause broke out.
The crowd of onlookers.
Shi Boren wiped his tears happily and hugged Gan Yizu's neck tightly, "Snatching yourself as my sister-in-law, what do you call it? Good things should be kept within the family. A rich man like Brother Xu can only be slaughtered by Group D."
As he said that, Shi Boren couldn't help but sigh, "Oh my god, from now on, you and I will be the only singles in Group D."
"No." Gan Yizu put Shi Boren's hand down, revealing a couple's bracelet, with a serious expression, "I was just dating last week."
"Ah? What happened? You got unmarried behind my back? Tell me! Where is your sister!" Shi Boren's envy turned into anger, and he immediately reached out to pinch Gan Yizu's neck.
"Ahem." Gan Yizu waved his arm and laughed heartily, "Brother Ren, don't get excited. I've already asked for you. My girlfriend has a cousin who is also looking for a boyfriend. You can give it a try."
"Having a girlfriend doesn't forget the single brothers. That's good enough." Shi Boren let go with a smile. He looked at the handsome man and beautiful woman standing together and couldn't help shouting.
"Sister-in-law, the future of Group D depends on you."
Lovers have all kinds of relatives.
Everyone was very happy.
Especially Xu Dan couldn't help but make a phone call to show off to her sisters.
At this time-
"Don't be happy too early." A voice came from the house.
Everyone looked over and Shi Yubing came out. She shook the pager, "A female corpse was found in the underwater tunnel."
The joy on the faces of the three people in Group D disappeared, and everyone took out the pager from their waists.
Sure enough, a female corpse was found in an underwater tunnel, and the news that Team D was asked to rush to the scene immediately came out.
"Aren, drive." Zhou Fengxu put the pager back on his waist, he quickly unbuttoned his shirt, rolled up his sleeves, and finally pulled off his bow tie.
"Yes, sir!" Shi Boren answered loudly and immediately ran to drive.
Not long after, a mighty Hummer sped over.
A loud brake sounded, and three people jumped into the car one after another. When the door was about to be closed, a faster figure jumped up.
Chu Yueqing jumped into the car and sat in the back seat, quickly fastened the seat belt, and looked at his companions.
"I'll go with you."
Under the golden and red sunset, the car sped on the road, and the scenery quickly receded.
Time is running out.
For the serious crime team, the sooner they arrive at the crime scene, the sooner they can solve the murder case.
The sooner they can give justice to the victim and his family.
