Chapter 188 The Fatty Has Been Found
Chen Wen has many things to do and is unable to be in two places at once.
Ou Xinhu is just a gang leader; how could he be qualified to handle this personally?
Moreover, wasn't the reason he came to Ma Rulong precisely to handle these trivial matters?
It also carries the meaning of a test. If Ma Rulong can't even control a gang leader, how will he be able to arrange more important matters in the future?
After saying that, Chen Wen stopped explaining and continued walking forward.
"I?"
Ma Rulong stood there, stunned, unable to react for a moment.
Lu Huiguang, Lin Guobin, and the others standing nearby instantly understood!
Sir Chen has directly handed over the power and responsibility of managing Ou Xinhu's group to Ma Rulong!
This is not just trust, but also the granting of immense authority!
From now on, at least on the surface, Ou Xinhu and his gang will be under the command of Ma Rulong, the captain of the guard!
"Brother Long!" Lu Huiguang reacted the fastest, his face immediately plastered with a friendly smile, "You'll have to take good care of the brothers in the future!"
"Yes, Captain! Your moves just now were amazing!" Lin Guobin quickly chimed in, her tone enthusiastic.
Others also crowded around, calling him Brother Long and Captain.
Their attitude was more than twice as respectful and enthusiastic as before.
Only Zhen Sanhuan, who lagged behind, turned pale and then flushed, filled with intense jealousy.
He gave so much gold and silver jewelry, said so many nice things, and served Chen Wen at his beck and call, but Chen Wen only asked him to do some trivial things like gathering information and smoothing things over.
This Ma Rulong, having only won one battle, was entrusted with such an important task, effectively becoming Chen Wen's number one subordinate!
What's with the attitude of a lousy guard captain!
I am the one who can truly help adults with important matters!
A few days later, the south side of the city became a chaotic market.
Ma Rulong changed his clothes and waited at the alley entrance for a while. He then saw a fat man swaying out of a gambling den with a toothpick in his mouth.
It was Zhuo Yifei.
"Senior brother!" Ma Rulong called out.
Zhuo Yifei turned his head and saw Ma Rulong. He was clearly stunned for a moment and subconsciously took a few steps back.
He thought he had made a big mistake, but then he realized what he had done and said something strange.
"What brings you to this run-down place? Investigating a case?"
"I didn't do anything wrong, I just lost a little money."
Ma Rulong was too lazy to banter with him and went straight to the point: "I have something serious to discuss with you."
"Serious business?" Zhuo Yifei picked at his ear, as if he had heard a joke.
"Isn't your real job to arrest scoundrels like me? What, you've switched careers to become a constable and come to arrest me yourself?"
""
"Stop talking nonsense." Ma Rulong frowned. He knew Zhuo Yifei was like this. "I have an opportunity for you. I'll give you a proper job that can make you a lot of money."
Zhuo Yifei sized him up and down, then sneered, "Ma Rulong, are you drunk? You've been in this business for so many years, and you're still just a lowly cop?"
"Oh, you've been promoted? But what can you do with that meager salary? And you're going to introduce me to a proper job? What influential people do you know? Are you trying to trick me into becoming your informant?"
"No thanks, I want to live a few more years."
As he spoke, he waved his hands repeatedly, as if recalling some unbearable past.
Ma Rulong's expression was also somewhat awkward. He had indeed tricked Zhuo Yifei before, but that was all in the past.
"Not an informant, but someone who works for a knight."
"Jazz?" Zhuo Yifei raised an eyebrow, this time putting away his joking expression, but still looking unconvinced.
"You? You think you can strike up a conversation with a foreign nobleman? Keep making things up. Ma Rulong, we've known each other for so many years, you wouldn't actually try to fool me, would you?"
"I'm not lying to you," Ma Rulong said seriously. "It's Sir Chen Wen, the owner of Po Chi Lam, that famous doctor."
Zhuo Yifei stopped holding the toothpick in his mouth.
His eyes flickered, a hint of shock in his expression; he clearly recognized the name: "Chen Wen? The one known as the miracle doctor, who supposedly makes money faster than a printing press? The Dr. Chen who was granted a title by the United States? You—you're working for him now?"
His tone revealed genuine surprise.
Chen Wen's name is already renowned worldwide, and his reputation has spread far and wide throughout Hong Kong's diverse social circles.
But for most people, the other party is someone unattainable.
When did Ma Rulong get on the good side of such a big shot?
Zhuo Yifei was filled with doubt and couldn't help but re-examine his junior brother.
Ma Rulong nodded: "I am now Sir Chen's bodyguard captain."
Upon hearing this, Zhuo Yifei's face instantly lit up with a smile. He patted Zhuo Yifei's shoulder forcefully and said enthusiastically, "As expected of my junior brother!"
"He's really latched onto a powerful figure! No wonder his tone of voice has changed."
"What, are you thinking of your brother because of something good?"
Although Ma Rulong didn't understand why Chen Wen insisted on having a fat man and even asked him to bring people over, Ma Rulong was also confused.
However, sensing there was some special purpose behind it, he didn't hide anything and said directly, "Of course. The lord is eager for talent and is even offering gold bars!"
"Gold bars?!" Zhuo Yifei's voice suddenly rose, then he burst into laughter as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world, laughing so hard that he was doubled over, pointing at Ma Rulong.
"Ma Rulong, Ma Rulong, you're exaggerating beyond belief! Giving away gold bars? Have you even seen what gold bars look like?"
"Gold bars for a job? You must be crazy!"
"You were lying to me after all!"
Ma Rulong was somewhat annoyed by his laughter: "Of course I've seen them! I even got one!"
On the day they dealt with Ou Xinhu, Chen Wen really rewarded him with a small yellow croaker, which he carefully hid at home.
Zhuo Yifei laughed even harder, tears welling up in his eyes.
"You got one? Because you helped him catch a bad guy like me? Or because you're a particularly good fighter?"
"Alright, alright, stop bragging! Where are the gold bars? Show them to your brothers!"
Ma Rulong was stunned.
How could he possibly carry something as valuable as gold bars on his person all the time?
Moreover, based on his understanding of Zhuo Yifei, if he really took it out, this guy might dare to snatch it by force or try to trick him into giving it away.
"I didn't bring it with me."
Zhuo Yifei shrugged, looking as if he had known.
"See, you've been exposed! I knew it."
"Alright, Captain Ma, you should go back to your proper job. I still need to earn some shady money for food."
With that, he turned to leave.
"etc!"
Ma Rulong panicked and stepped forward to grab his arm.
He knew that although Zhuo Yifei was slick, he was truly capable and well-informed, and Chen Wen might really need someone like him.
Zhuo Yifei was pulled back by him and was about to shake him off when his eyes suddenly darted around, as if he had remembered something. He stopped, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face: "I can trust you. You do me a favor, and I'll trust you this once, how about it?"
Ma Rulong immediately became alert, released his grip, and frowned at him: "Are you trying to trick me again? Zhuo Yifei, I'm warning you, don't get any funny ideas."
They grew up together and know each other too well. Whenever Zhuo Yifei shows this kind of expression, it's usually not a good sign.
"Tsk, how can you call it a trap?" Zhuo Yifei complained, putting his arm around Ma Rulong's shoulder and pulling him further into the alley. His voice was low and mysterious.
"It's a good deed, eliminating a scourge for the people!"
"I heard that someone in the Hong Kong government is colluding with those pirates outside, planning to secretly sell them a hundred rifles! Can we tolerate this?"
Ma Rulong's expression suddenly changed: "Colluding with pirates? Selling guns? Is the information reliable?"
"When has any information I've gathered ever been unreliable?" Zhuo Yifei patted his chest. "How about we team up and rob this shipment!"
"You've done a great service by ridding the people of a scourge! And me? Hehe, I'll just make a little money on the side! A win-win situation!"
