Chapter 220 Three-Legged Leopard
Chapter 220 Three-Legged Leopard
The officer said, "Last time it was the Yau Ma Tei Police Station, this time it's our East Kowloon Police Station handling the case, do you understand?"
"boarding!"
Bai Shanhua wanted to say a few more harsh words, but another police officer grabbed him by the neck and shoved him into the police car.
Bai Shanhua craned his neck: "A Bao!"
Three-Legged Leopard immediately leaned over: "What can I do for you, Brother Hua?"
Bai Shanhua said, "Find a guarantor!"
The three-legged leopard readily agreed, "Okay, no problem."
The police car sped away, carrying Bai Shanhua.
Li Jian lit a cigarette in the car and flicked off the ash.
Bai Shanhua's underling tossed the car keys to Sanjiaobao: "The car belongs to Mawei, give it back to him."
The three-legged leopard looked surprised and said, "He's your older brother, aren't you going to take care of him?"
Bai Shanhua's underling spat and said, "What era are we living in, brother? Bah!"
The younger brother turned to leave, but the three-legged leopard reached out to grab him.
But his underling slapped him away, yelling, "What are you doing? Want to fight? Come on!"
The three-legged leopard brandished its weapon a couple of times, then, realizing it was outmatched, retreated and said to Bai Shanhua's underlings, "You'd better watch out, your big brother will be after you first!"
The younger brother raised his middle finger without even turning his head.
Three-Legged Leopard also raised his middle finger: "Damn it! You bastard! You have no guts!"
The three-legged leopard returned dejectedly to the Mazda and kicked it hard, saying, "I can't drive!"
The three-legged leopard slid weakly to the ground, feeling abandoned by the whole world.
"Hey, what kind of man is this, crying and sobbing like this?"
The three-legged leopard looked up and saw a super handsome guy standing in front of him.
He took the tissue, blew his nose, and said, "Thank you."
Three-Legged Leopard wiped away his tears and blew his nose, then threw the tissue into a roadside trash can: "Brother, where are you from? My name is Three-Legged Leopard."
“I’m from West Kowloon, you can call me Ah Jian.” Li Jian handed him a cigarette.
Bai Shanhua had already taken the cigarette from the three-legged leopard. He took the cigarette and asked, "Do you have a light?"
"Yes, I have."
Li Jian lit his cigarette for him, and Sanjiaobao hurriedly said, "Thanks, brother, you're not bad. Interested in joining Wo Luen Shing? My boss is Chuan Bao, a veteran of Wo Luen Shing, very powerful."
Explosion?
No wonder.
No wonder this three-legged leopard is so righteous; the big boss has transcended petty interests and is preparing to lead his gang to the moon.
Li Jian laughed and said, "No need, I'm afraid my boss will be unhappy."
Three-Legged Leopard waved his hand and said, "It's alright, I'll have my big boss talk to your big boss. These big bosses are very easy to talk to."
Li Jian smiled and asked in return, "You seemed to be having some trouble just now."
Three-Legged Leopard took a deep drag on his cigarette, then asked for another one, saying, "Hey, it's all because Bai Shanhua's underlings are disloyal. Their boss, Bai Shanhua, was arrested by the East Kowloon Anti-Triad Unit and needs money for bail, but those two bastards, one didn't even show up, and the other ran away as soon as he heard about the money!"
What a disloyal bastard! What a loser!
Li Jian nodded and said, "Money is hard to earn, and life is tough. These underlings are probably all struggling to make a living. They can't even take care of themselves, let alone others."
Three-Legged Leopard disagreed: "You can go without food, but you have to be loyal. As the saying goes, loyalty comes first. If you don't have loyalty, what's the difference between you and a salted fish?"
"You're right, I support you!"
Li Jian did not continue arguing.
People like Sanjiaobao are loyal to their brothers and prioritize chivalry; their loyalty will not change with the times.
Even though I'm nobody, I'd go to great lengths for my brothers.
Such people are a rare commodity in this era.
Li Jian liked him a lot, so he smiled and asked, "So what are you going to do?"
Three-Legged Leopard pulled out a business card from his pocket, pointed to a name on it, and said, "Don't be afraid, I know him, Buzzy-Eyed Dragon. He made a fortune in business, and I'm going to borrow money from him!"
Li Jian took the business card, which read "Jifa Industrial Co., Ltd., CEO Luo Zhaolong".
Address: Kwun Tong Street.
Li Jian laughed and said, "Kwun Tong is so far away, how are you going to get there?"
Three-Legged Leopard waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I can take a taxi there."
Li Jian quipped, "Take a taxi? Do you have the money?"
The three-legged leopard scratched its head awkwardly.
I had a few hundred yuan on me just now, but Bai Shanhua took it all, claiming it was to bribe officials at the bureau.
He couldn't even afford a pack of toilet paper, let alone a taxi.
Li Jian patted Three-Legged Leopard on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I'll take you there."
"I'm so sorry, thank you so much!"
Three-Legged Leopard was so grateful that tears were almost streaming down his face. "Ah Jian, we've only known each other for one day, and you're already so kind. I, Three-Legged Leopard, consider you my brother!"
Li Jian led the three-legged leopard to the front of the white BMW and took out the car keys.
Drop drop-
The headlights of the white BMW flashed twice.
Three-Legged Leopard exclaimed dramatically, "No way, this is your car?"
Li Jian shrugged and said, "Of course not, this is my boss's car, he lent it to me to get around!"
The three-legged leopard was so envious it was practically drooling, and it carefully poked the white BMW twice with its hand.
Li Jian was both amused and exasperated: "It's just a car, you can't just touch it whenever you want."
The three-legged leopard chuckled and said, "I wouldn't dare. If I break it, I wouldn't be able to afford to pay for it even if I sold myself."
Li Jian grabbed the three-legged leopard's hand, pressed it against his arm, and laughed, "You'll have a chance to buy one someday."
Three-Legged Leopard quickly waved his hand, his face full of smiles, and said, "How could I afford it? It's more expensive than a house. Even if I had the money, I wouldn't be willing to buy it."
Li Jian patted Three-Legged Leopard on the shoulder and said, "Where are you going? I'll take you."
The three-legged leopard chuckled awkwardly, carefully opened the car door, and sat in the passenger seat.
They got into the car.
The three-legged leopard sat properly, its hands flat on its knees.
Li Jian ignored him, simply asked for the location, and then drove towards Kwun Tong.
Kwun Tong is still under development, with many buildings rising from the ground, covered by green dustproof covers.
The machines whirred and roared.
Three-Legged Leopard got out of the car, bowed and waved goodbye to Li Jian.
Li Jian said, "I'm free anyway, I'll go up with you and take a look. If we can't borrow the money, we'll think of another way."
The three-legged leopard said awkwardly, "How could I possibly accept that? We've only just met, and you've already helped me so much. I can't possibly trouble you any further."
"It's fate that we met. We get along so well, let's not worry about such things."
Li Jian's generous and open demeanor moved Sanjiaobao to tears.
He was number 49 in Wo Luen Shing, commonly known as Old Number 49.
He usually works under Chuanbao because of his competence, loyalty, and good interpersonal skills.
However, he was honest and simple-minded. People called him Brother Leopard to his face, but secretly they all called him Silly Leopard. Few people respected him.
Although the three-legged leopard is silly and dull, it's not stupid at heart.
He only acts according to the principles in his heart. Even if he often suffers losses, he faces hardship with a smile, wipes away his tears, and continues to move forward.
Li Jian was the first person who was willing to help him without asking for anything in return.
The three-legged leopard felt embarrassed to trouble him.
