"Xijiu!!!"
Lei Luo looked up and saw a familiar face.
"Da da da."
He opened his eyes with surprise, grabbed his cane and hurriedly took a few steps forward. He arrived in front of Chen Xijiu in a few quick steps.
Hug "Inspector Abalone" with a big hug!
The two hugged tightly and remained silent for a long time, each immersed in their inner feelings.
I saw Lei Luo gently patting Chen Xijiu's shoulder with his hand, his face full of excitement and apologetic look.
Chen Xijiu looked nostalgic, her eyes flickered, and there was a hint of unspeakable "astringency" and "guilt" in her expression.
Although Chen Xijiu was single-handedly promoted by Brother Luo back then, he transformed from a looked-down police officer and estate agent into a "Shau Kei Wan" detective, a veritable leader of the jurisdiction.
But, to be honest, he is just a dog raised by Brother Luo!
If Brother Luo didn't think he was good and wanted him to play football with him and help him raise his little wife, there would be no need for "Inspector Abalone" at all.
The position of "Shau Kei Wan" detective is not a bone given by Brother Luo to a dog.
Brother Luo also slapped him in the face, looking down on him!
What man has no self-esteem?
In addition, Chen Xijiu was also a little dissatisfied with some of the ways of "Brother Luo", so he voluntarily surrendered to ICAC. After being sentenced and released from prison, he never went to Taiwan to see Brother Luo again.
This can be regarded as Chen Xijiu expressing some of his "dissatisfaction" with Brother Luo back then. But "Brother Luo" only beat and scolded him? Didn't you treat him well? No! Brother Luo not only regarded him as a brother, but also supported him with one hand, making him famous and changing his life!
A person is multi-faceted and complex, and so are a person's feelings!
Therefore, when Chen Xijiu knew that "Brother Luo" was returning to Hong Kong to celebrate his birthday and the wanted order was cancelled, he took the initiative to come and congratulate Brother Luo on his birthday!
As soon as possible, Xijiu vented his dissatisfaction on Brother Luo.
On the other hand, when Chen Xijiu vented his dissatisfaction, he would think of the brotherhood back then and how good Brother Luo was to him. I deeply feel guilty for not going to Taiwan to see Brother Luo for so many years. I am not a brother.
Therefore, the expression on Chen Xijiu's face was quite complicated, and her heart was full of mixed feelings.
Of course, my friendship with the boss is in my heart!
He will come no matter what!
And will Brother Luo not understand? No! Brother Luo understands so well! Therefore, he felt sorry for Chen Xijiu in his heart, and he never blamed the old brothers for not having been to Taiwan. Even if Chen Xijiu and others did not come to celebrate his birthday, he would not blame them.
If one day Lei Luo couldn't help but want to see these old brothers, whether he was about to die or in good health, he would definitely go to the door in person to apologize to the brothers!
It’s just that the spring breeze is too exciting! Life is too frivolous to be proud! But this is not a big mistake...
Both of them understand in their hearts, and there is no grudge between them, only the traces of time remain.
They hugged each other without saying a word, but they both understood what the other meant.
"I didn't ask for this."
"Brother Xijiu is coming on his own." At this time, Zhuang Shikai said with a smile.
Today, it was because Xijiu treated Brother Luo as a boss that he came to visit in person. Brother Luo treated Xijiu as a brother and had no grudges. The relationship between brothers is about understanding, and the longer it gets, the better it gets!
No one on either side apologized, and no one mentioned any unhappy things, as if nothing happened...
At this moment, Lei Luo heard Zhuang Shikai's words and smiled heartily. He let go of Chen Xijiu's shoulders and looked at him and said, "You brat, do you think you are rich? Are you going to give two big golden peaches as a gift when you come on stage?"
At this time, Chen Xijiu twitched the corner of his mouth, took off his cigar and waved his hand: "One golden peach weighs ten kilograms, sprinkle it with water!"
"Ah!"
"Have you been doing well these past few years?"
"If you make a living with Mr. Zhuang and make some investments, your net worth will only be less than one billion." Chen Xijiu spread his hands: "I'm sure I can't compare with the big guys!"
"Wherever tigers go, there are tigers. The boss is very prosperous in Taiwan. Who doesn't know your net worth?"
At this time, Chen Xijiu made a gesture of brushing abalone with both hands: "Now I just squat at home to collect rent and brush abalone for my daughter."
"Boss, I'm going back to Hong Kong Island now. Come to my house to eat abalone when you have time."
"Yo." Lei Luo led Chen Xijiu into the door and exclaimed: "The big boss still brushes abalone himself?"
"Can't I be happy?"
"What's more, besides farming abalone, I know how to kick waves and collect debts! Now I can't even find a partner for kicking waves... Boss! Do you still want me to collect debts? There are no gangs on the streets now! You Who should I go to to collect it? See for yourself what the horse head next to you has done! Haha, I don’t want to squat in the kiln anymore!"
"Hahaha! Then let's kick waves, kick waves, let's kick waves together another day!"
They both laughed in the garden.
door.
Zhuang Shikai took out his cigarette case, shook it out, took out a cigarette, lowered his head and held it in his mouth.
"Why are you still cleaning me up?"
He shook his head and smiled to himself.
Next, "Lin Gang", "Han Sen", Detective Zhao, Detective Chen and other old brothers also appeared one after another!
Among them, "Lin Gang" and "Han Sen" were both one of the four major detectives of the year!
Plus Lei Luo, Zhuang Shikai, and the four major detectives from the 1970s reunited!
Among them, Lin Gang and Han Sen were both arrested and imprisoned. After being released from prison, they met Luo Ge for the first time.
They had a good relationship with Brother Luo back then, and as senior detectives, they could only be regarded as subordinates, not dogs.
The reason why I haven't seen Brother Luo for so many years is not complicated.
After being in jail for a long time, I have lost sight of everything. Let fate arise and fall, and we will see each other again if we are destined.
Today's fate has arrived.
And they came.
In addition, Li Shutang, Cai Yuanqi and other "little four detectives" back then...
Tsk! The people ICAC most wanted to arrest back then were all present!
Unfortunately, ICAC has become a world dominated by its own people.
Not only were there no investigators to arrest people, but there were also congratulatory gifts from the Integrity Commissioner... If it weren't for the delicate identities of Lei Luo and Lard Zai, which made it inconvenient for the Integrity Commissioner to come forward, I'm afraid "Chen Jingci" would have wanted to come to celebrate his birthday in person...
And the gifts given by these old brothers are very quaint. They are either golden peaches, golden Buddhas, or gold medals. In short, they have to look valuable! It’s really worth the money!
In comparison, the jade carvings, famous paintings and other items presented by Mr. Huo, Mr. Shao and others were much more low-key.
Of course, the price is even higher, but Brother Luo always feels that it is a little bit less interesting.
The big gold given by the brothers is more to my liking.
What Luo Ge values is not money.
It was that feeling back then...
And every time an old brother comes to the scene, the loneliness deep in Luo Ge's heart will be filled a little bit... until it is complete.
That night.
Brother Luo drank happily.
…
late at night.
Mountain top.
The evening breeze is gentle.
When the guests had dispersed, in the waterside pavilion, Brother Luo picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said with blushing cheeks: "Thank you, Zhuangzi."
"These are what you should do if you are a small person." Zhuang Shikai sat across from him and said with a smile.
But Brother Luo shook his head: "I'm not thanking you for celebrating my birthday, but thanking you for giving me someone to play waves with, watch horses with, and go fishing with."
This means something deeper.
This is to thank Zhuang Zai for finding his old brother.
Now, Miss Bai went upstairs to sleep. Tonight, the brothers did not miss toasting to their "sister-in-law". They also miss the eldest lady from Kowloon Walled City whom they haven't seen for many years!
The eldest lady of the Kowloon Walled City did not disappoint her brothers. She swept away her appearance of a good wife and loving mother and showed off the momentum that swept across Kowloon.
Drink on every occasion!
Raise a glass and do it!
In the end, the drunk lifted up her skirt, stepped on the chair with her high heels, picked up a bottle of Lafite and blew on her mouth!
Brother Luo could only smile bitterly beside him.
It's a pity that Brother Luo's family status seems not to be very high now, and he doesn't even have the qualifications to persuade his wife not to drink. What's more, today is a day to be happy, and Brother Luo doesn't want to persuade him.
He even asked his wife to stop drinking!
Brother Luo is worthy of being Brother Luo. All the brothers are drunk, but he still has the energy to drink night tea with the "plug-in boy"... You know, although Mr. Zhuang drinks a lot, he is not healthy!
Mr. Shao, Mr. Huo and others were a little uncomfortable with the drinking style of the "detectives". When the etiquette was in place, they almost retreated.
At this moment, Zhuang Shikai smiled and said: "You are the five-billion-dollar Inspector Lei Hu! You have an inspector who works for us! Are you afraid that no one will join you?"
"But the brothers all gave you birthday gifts."
"It seems that my gift hasn't been delivered yet." Zhuang Shikai raised his hands and clapped his palms: "Pop! Pah!"
Zhuang Ziwei picked up a wooden box, placed it on the tea table, and shouted respectfully: "Uncle Lei!"
Zhuang Shikai cast a look at the boss.
Lei Luo was obviously a little drunk, and his eyes were a little blurry. He reached out his hand and opened the wooden box.
A 0.38 caliber standard police gun with a wooden handle and a metal body.
The barrel of the gun is completely black and cold, and the handle is mottled with time.
This was Brother Luo's gun back then.
The gun lay quietly in the box.
Suddenly, Lei Luo's eyes glowed, and he picked up the pistol, as if he had returned to that era of chaos, darkness, and crisis...
"This is my gift." Zhuang Shikai held a finger cigarette in his hand and said quietly: "It can be regarded as returning to the original owner."
Since Luo Ge's sidearm was confiscated by the police force, the police force has changed its equipment several times and is no longer equipped with .38-caliber weapons.
This old antique with a wooden handle was even thrown into a box to gather dust.
Zhuang Shikai can take it out easily, and no one will notice. It didn't feel suitable before, but now he gave it to Brother Luo.
It’s just a thought.
Brother Luo raised the gun and narrowed his eyes. Back then, when he used this gun, his hands were stained with blood, and he did it to death! I don’t know how many gangsters, enemies, and even ghosts I have killed!
But now there is no murderous look in the corners of his eyebrows anymore.
"Hahaha." Lei Luochang smiled and put the pistol back into the wooden box. After admiring it for a while, he simply closed the box, looked up at Zhuang Shikai and said, "This gift is so memorable... I won't do it again. Use it and I will take it into the coffin with you!"
"This is my favorite birthday gift in my life! Because it is the only one worth carrying in a coffin!"
"Yes." Zhuang Shikai nodded heavily, flicked the ashes of his cigarette and exhaled.
"A-Zhong, A-Yi! Put the things for Zhuang Sheng on the table!" Lei Luo pressed the wooden box and suddenly turned around and shouted.
He turned sideways and looked at Zhuang Shikai: "It's rude not to reciprocate. You have done so much for this big boss. I also brought you two gifts before coming to Hong Kong Island."
"Uh-huh!"
"Whoa!" I saw Azhong and Ayi wearing suits, each carrying a wooden box and placing it in front of them.
The two first used iron bars to pry open the wooden box, then took out the items, and then lifted a piece of red cloth, revealing two lifelike brass animal heads!
