Chapter 279 Beggars' Clan Assembly

Li Jian rolled his eyes: "Why didn't Inspector Huang just ask me directly?"

Cao Dahua whispered, "Inspector Huang is the most cautious. He's afraid his phone will be tapped. If people find out his gun is missing, he'll lose his job."

"Oh, so it all boils down to not trusting me."

Li Jian thought Huang Bingyao was really crazy. He asked him to do something and then arranged for Cao Dahua to come in as well. Wasn't that just surveillance?

It's often said that second marriages are the most difficult to manage, and that's absolutely true.

Thinking of this, Li Jian felt an overwhelming longing for Lin Guoxiong.

Although Lin Guoxiong was a bit of a chatterbox, he trusted me unconditionally, and with the child involved, the two were practically inseparable.

Li Jian casually replied, "Tell Inspector Huang to rest assured, I will definitely take care of the gun."

Li Jian's gaze fell on Cao Dahua's mouth, noticing that he had a wooden stick in his mouth. He frowned and asked in confusion, "Why are you chewing on a wooden stick?"

Cao Dahua chuckled, took the wooden stick out of his mouth, and waved it in his hand, his tone tinged with self-deprecation: "Quitting smoking, huh? I'm getting old, my body can't take it anymore, the doctor told me to quit."

But how can you just give up a decades-old habit like that? Chewing on this wooden stick at least satisfies the craving.

As he spoke, he put the wooden stick back into his mouth, chewing it with a crunching sound, his face showing a helpless yet somewhat mischievous expression.

Looking at him, Li Jian couldn't help but chuckle, his tone slightly teasing: "Uncle Da, your way of quitting smoking is quite unique. But chewing on a wooden stick is better than smoking."

Cao Dahua shrugged and mumbled, "There's nothing I can do. When you get old, you have to think about your health. But speaking of which, you really went all out just now. You almost crushed my old bones."

Li Jian scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, his tone tinged with apology: "Sorry, Uncle Da, the situation was sudden just now, I thought it was a bad guy."

As you know, I've arrested too many bad guys, so my reaction was a bit excessive.

Cao Dahua waved his hand and laughed, "It's alright, it's alright. Being vigilant is a good thing. But don't be so rough next time, my old neck can't take this kind of abuse."

Li Jian asked, "Uncle Da, how long have you been undercover? Have you found any leads?"

Cao Dahua said, chewing on a wooden stick, "I came in on the same day as you. I originally wanted to become a teacher, but that bastard head of discipline said I was too old and didn't have any special skills, so he only assigned me a cleaning job."

After observing him for several days, I've identified Johnny, a delinquent from Class 114, as a prime suspect.

Class 114?

Isn't that Huang Xiaogui's class?

Li Jian sat on the edge of the bed and lit a cigarette for himself: "Tell me, why do you suspect him?"

Cao Dahua sniffed the smoke drifting over and said, "Although Johnny is a student, he's very close to gangsters in the streets. He has a powerful older brother named Dafei."

These delinquent teenagers are the prime suspects.

Li Jian clapped his hands, and exclaimed, "That's it!"

Li Jian patted Cao Dahua on the shoulder: "You did a good job. I'll talk to Inspector Huang, but don't do anything rash."

talking.

Li Jian walked over and opened the dormitory door.

Cao Dahua asked, "Li sir, what are you doing?"

"I'm going to take a nap now, could you please leave?"

"Li sir, you have two beds here. It shouldn't be a problem if I sleep in one." Cao Dahua didn't want to leave at all. "That unscrupulous discipline director only assigned me a storage room with just one chair. My old arms and legs are so weak... Hey, hey, don't pull me. I can walk by myself."

After kicking Cao Dahua out of the dormitory, Li Jian went straight to sleep.

The afternoon sunlight streamed into the room through the gaps in the curtains. Li Jian lay lazily on the bed, feeling so listless that he didn't want to move at all.

Just then, his phone rang abruptly. He glanced at the screen; it was Ah Qun calling.

"Hey, Ah Qun, what's up?" Li Jian answered the phone, his voice tinged with a hint of laziness.

On the other end of the phone, Ah Qun's voice was still full of energy: "Li Jian, are you free this afternoon? Let's go to Kowloon Cafe for afternoon tea, it's on me!"

Upon hearing this, Li Jian felt a headache coming on. He rolled over, his tone tinged with helplessness: "What kind of afternoon tea is this, lady! I'm in class, I'm exhausted like a dog, all I want to do is lie down."

Ah-Qun persisted, her voice tinged with a hint of coquetry: "Oh dear, don't be such a spoilsport! I haven't seen you in so long. Besides, Kowloon Cafe's pineapple buns and milk tea are absolutely amazing. You'll regret it if you don't come!"

Li Jian sighed and rubbed his temples: "Ah Qun, it's not that I don't want to go, I'm just too tired. How about we go another day?"

Ah Qun's voice immediately lowered, tinged with disappointment: "Li Jian, do you not want to see me? Or... have you found someone new and forgotten your old love?"

Upon hearing this, Li Jian was both amused and exasperated: "Big sister, your thought process is too bizarre! What new love or old flame do I have? I just want to lie down, understand? Lie down!"

Ah Qun, however, was unmoved, her tone carrying a hint of threat: "Ah Jian, I don't care, if you don't come today, I'll go to your house and wait for you! Anyway, I know where you live."

Li Jian sighed helplessly. He knew Ah Qun's personality; if he really didn't go, she was definitely capable of doing something like this.

He had no choice but to compromise: "Okay, okay, I'll go, alright? But you have to wait for me a bit, I need to calm down."

Ah Qun's voice immediately became cheerful: "That's more like it! I'll go save a seat first, hurry up, don't keep me waiting too long!"

After hanging up the phone, Li Jian lay on the bed and shook his head helplessly.

He slowly got up, changed his clothes, casually scratched his hair, picked up his phone and keys, and left the room.

The sunlight shone on his face, causing him to squint.

We arrived at Kowloon Ice Room.

There were quite a few people sitting inside having afternoon tea.

"Jian, over here!"

Ah-Qun raised her little hand and waved it from side to side, as if afraid that Li Jian wouldn't see it.

When Li Jian walked over, he realized that Ah Qun wasn't the only one there.

Captain Lu, Tie Dan, A Qiang, Lee, Leon, and others were all present.

However, Captain Lu's arm was wrapped in bandages and in a sling around his neck, Tie Dan had a brace on his neck, A Qiang's head was wrapped in gauze, and Lee's entire face was covered like a mummy...

In short, apart from Ah Qun, there wasn't a single able-bodied person at the table.

Li Jian greeted with a smile: "Wow, the Beggars' Sect gathering?"
