"Ah Dong, this is Li Xian. Your matter has caused quite a stir."
Shen Dong laughed and said, "Just now at the entrance of You Gu Qi, I felt two pairs of eyes secretly watching me. I thought they were two beautiful women, but I didn't expect it to be Inspector Li."
"Depend on."
Li Xian exclaimed, "You're too amazing, kid! You can even sense our gazes."
Shen Dong said, "Once you've mastered martial arts to my level, you can do the same. Li Sir, let's get back to the point. What instructions do you have for me?"
Li Xian said, "My boss thinks you're quite interesting and wants to have a chat with you."
Shen Dong said, "Then let's go to the Bihai Nightclub."
Li Xian laughed and cursed, "Are you doing this on purpose? We're police officers, we can't go there."
Shen Dong laughed heartily and said, "Just kidding. Let's meet at our usual spot."
Li Xian said, "That's more like it."
After hanging up the phone, Li Wenbin said with a playful tone, "See you at the usual place. Ah Xian, you two seem to have a pretty good relationship."
Li Xian quickly said, "Don't misunderstand. I've only been to his Brilliant Bar for drinks two or three times."
Li Wenbin said, "You're at a crucial moment now, aiming for the position of Senior Superintendent. You'd better tone down this gangster-like demeanor, understand?"
Li Xian shrugged and said, "Understood, Li sir."
Li Wenbin was speechless.
Soon, the two arrived at the Brilliant Bar.
Ahua took the two inside.
Inside the bar, apart from Li Jie, Tian Yangsheng, and others drinking and singing, there was not a single other customer.
Upon entering a private room, they saw Shen Dong sitting on the sofa, having opened a bottle of red wine, waiting for them.
Upon seeing the two, Shen Dong stood up and said with a smile, "Li sir, long time no see. I heard you're about to be promoted again."
Li Xian said in surprise, "Your ears are quite long, kid."
Shen Dong said, "There are leaks everywhere in the police department. It would be abnormal if I didn't know about such a big thing."
Li Xian chuckled and said, "Since you're so capable, then tell me who this police officer next to me is?"
Shen Dong looked at Li Wenbin and said, "It is truly an honor for my Brilliant Bar that you, Li Sir, have come to visit."
Li Wenbin said, "You're too kind."
Shen Dong asked the two to sit down and said to Ahua, "Go sing with the brothers. Don't bother us unless it's urgent. Also, Asheng is forbidden from singing. Damn it, other people sing for money, but this guy sings for his life."
Upon hearing Shen Dong's words, not only Li Xian, but even the usually serious Li Wenbin couldn't help but laugh.
After Ahua left, Shen Dong poured a glass of red wine for the two of them and said, "The wine seller said this is Romanée-Conti, but I don't know if it's real or not. Could you two please try it?"
Li Xian raised an eyebrow and said, "Romanée-Conti is expensive. Are you trying to bribe us?"
Shen Dong laughed and said, "Li sir, we're old friends. When have you ever seen me bribe you? Besides, even if I were to bribe someone, I would bribe the officials at the very top of the pyramid, not you, Superintendent."
Li Xian chuckled and said, "That's true. Let me try it for you first."
Shen Dong gestured for him to proceed. Li Xian picked up his wine glass, took a small sip, nodded, and said, "It should be true."
Sham Tung smiled and said, "It's good that it's true. Superintendents, I'd like to raise a toast to you both, to thank you for your contributions to the stability and development of Hong Kong Island."
Li Wenbin gave him a deep look and said, "It's rather ridiculous to hear such words from the top Hong Kong triad boss like you."
Shen Dong put down his wine glass and said seriously, "Li sir, you come from a family of police officers, while I came from an orphanage. Our upbringing is vastly different, which has shaped our completely different outlooks on life and values. To put it simply, if I hadn't joined Hung Hing seven or eight years ago, the grass on my grave would be growing into trees by now."
"Heh, if we had a choice back then, who the hell would have wanted to live a life of constant danger? We had no other choice, did we?"
Li Wenbin said, "You can become a policeman; I'll give him special permission."
Shen Dong smiled and said, "Ten years ago, when I was about to die, you didn't say anything. Now that I'm a billionaire, you're only telling me now, but it's too late. Besides, I don't like working for the Americans."
Li Wenbin frowned and said, "The purpose of our police force is to maintain law and order on Hong Kong Island, not to serve the US."
Shen Dong shrugged and said, "Say what you will."
Seeing that the two were about to start fighting at the slightest provocation, Li Xian quickly said, "Stop with the nonsense. Such good red wine shouldn't be wasted. Come on, cheers!"
Shen Dong laughed and said, "That's right. Cheers, both of you, Officer Li."
Li Wenbin glared at Li Xian, but still picked up his wine glass and clinked it with Shen Dong's.
"Damn, Romanée-Conti is just different, it really tastes good."
Li Wenbin took a small sip and thought to himself.
Although he was a high-ranking police superintendent, he had only drunk fine wines like Romanée-Conti three or four times.
Li Xian also showed an expression of enjoyment.
Only after taking a sip did Shen Dong's brows furrow into a deep frown, and he cursed, "Damn, why does it taste like soy sauce? Is this fake?"
Li Xian was taken aback, then said irritably, "If you don't understand red wine, don't talk nonsense."
Li Wenbin said, "Romanée Condi has a subtle aroma of soy sauce, flowers, and licorice, which is very pleasant. This bottle of red wine is definitely genuine."
Shen Dong curled his lip and said, "Our Maotai from Xia Country tastes better. This stuff is obviously no good."
