Hong Kong variety show: Beauty and Bones

Time flies by like a fleeting white horse, never stopping for anyone. In the long river of time, the wheel of history rolls forward, driving the development and change of the times.

In 1974, the Independent Commission Against Corruption of Hong Kong was officially established. The emergence of this institution attracted widespread attention from all walks of life.

At first, people did not have much expectations for it, and even thought that it was just another anti-corruption department in name only but doing nothing.

Some people couldn't help but lament: "Now we have to pay out more money!" In such an atmosphere, both the black and white groups continue to do their own thing, doing business as usual and collecting black money as usual.

However, things were not as simple as people imagined. Soon, some gang bosses were invited to "drink tea" by the ICAC, and ICAC members in suits often appeared behind the police detectives.

Even Wu Shihao, who always keeps a low profile, was not spared. He was taken away by the Independent Commission Against Corruption for investigation on charges of bribery.

Faced with this sudden change, Cui Yin and Mingzi were extremely anxious.

They quickly sought help from a lawyer they knew. The lawyer reassured them, "Don't worry, it shouldn't be a major problem. Over the past few years, Mr. Wu has thoroughly cleaned up his businesses, trying to avoid any potential issues. Even if there are any issues, they won't be fatal."

After hearing what the lawyer said, Cui Yin and Mingzi felt a little relieved, but they were still full of worries.

……

"Wow, your air conditioning is free?" Wu Shihao wrapped his coat tightly around him and shivered, muttering, "Damn, this interrogation room is as cold as winter. I really don't know what you guys are thinking!"

"Also, this light is so dazzling, does it mean the electricity bill is free? Can you turn off a few lights?" Wu Shihao complained with dissatisfaction, thinking that these people from the ICAC really know how to torture people.

However, he had nothing to worry about, after all, he was just doing a small business and had never sold powder.

If the ICAC could send him to jail for such a small matter, I wonder how many people in the whole of Hong Kong Island would suffer!

By then, the prison will be overcrowded! Thinking of this, Wu Shihao couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

At this moment, Han Zhibang winked at his subordinates, signaling them to turn off the air conditioner. Then, he looked at Wu Shihao with a smile and asked, "Wu Shihao, is this Brother Hao?"

"Hmph!" Wu Shihao snorted unhappily, thinking that these little bastards, relying on the identity of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, really took themselves seriously.

"I wonder how much Brother Hao knows about Lei Luo, our Chief Inspector Lei?" Han Zhibang continued to ask, his eyes fixed on Wu Shihao.

Oh, so these guys are here for Lei Luo! Wu Shihao secretly curled his lips in his heart. If they can't deal with A Luo, they want to deal with him, A Hao? Do they think he is easy to bully?

"I don't know. If you want to know something, go check it out yourself!" Wu Shihao replied with disdain, not wanting to pay any attention to Han Zhibang.

"Then let's change the question." Han Zhibang's expression remained unchanged, a smile on his lips, and an unfathomable glint in his eyes. "Mr. Wu Shihao, how much do you know about lard?"

Hearing this question, Wu Shihao frowned slightly, but soon regained his composure. He answered without hesitation, "I don't know!"

Han Zhibang didn't seem surprised by Wu Shihao's answer. He nodded slightly and continued to ask, "So, do you know the relationship between Zhu Youzai and Inspector Lei Luo?"

Wu Shihao was silent for a moment before he slowly said, "I don't know."

Han Zhibang smiled and said, "As far as I know, Zhuyouzai is Inspector Lei Luo's confidant. He has extensive connections and influence in both the black and white worlds. As a gang leader, shouldn't you know more about these people?"

Wu Shihao looked at Han Zhibang with a hint of vigilance in his eyes. He said coldly, "What gang leader? Don't talk nonsense! I'm just a legitimate businessman. I don't need to understand these people. I only care about my own business and interests."

Han Zhibang laughed and said, "Mr. Wu Shihao, this attitude of yours won't work. In Hong Kong Island, if you want to survive, you must know how to deal with people. And people like Zhuyouzai are definitely worth your attention and understanding."

Wu Shihao didn't say anything, but just looked at Han Zhibang quietly, as if thinking about something. After a while, he said lightly: "Thank you for the reminder, Officer Han. I will consider it."

Han Zhibang nodded with satisfaction, then stood up and said, "Okay, let's end our conversation today. I hope you can remember what I said and think carefully about your future path." After that, he turned and left the room.

Wu Shihao was talking nonsense, but Han Zhibang just went along with what he said and had no intention of refuting or getting angry at all.

Who in Hong Kong, both in the black and white worlds, doesn’t know that Wu Shihao is Lei Luo’s good brother?

What exactly does Han Zhibang mean?

……

At the same time, Cui Yin and his lawyer came to the Independent Commission Against Corruption to meet Wu Shihao.

Without solid evidence, the ICAC could only detain Wu Shihao for 48 hours.

Originally, this amount of time wouldn't be a big deal, but rumors were swirling that Wu Shihao was turning against the court and was going to become a tainted witness...

Hearing this, Lei Luo looked down on him. How could he not know who Ah Hao was?

Do those idiots really think that spreading some rumors can hurt him?

When the ICAC people saw Cui Yin coming in with his lawyer, they all started winking at each other.

Is this Wu Shihao’s wife?

When Huo Qilin saw the person coming, he quickly came over to greet her, "Auntie is here!"

Even Lei Luo called Cui Yin "Auntie," and the others naturally followed suit. Although this "Auntie" rarely appeared, she left a deep impression on people...

"Huo Qilin, how is Ah Hao?" Cui Yin asked Huo Qilin, Lei Luo's former subordinate and current member of the Independent Commission Against Corruption.

"Commander Han is chatting with him..." Huo Qilin said a few insignificant words, "Sister-in-law, go to the reception room and have a cup of tea first. I'll send someone to notify them."

"Okay, thank you for your help!" Cui Yin said politely.

……

"Do you know what it means to 'hold the power of the world when awake, and sleep on the knees of a beauty when drunk'?" Huo Qilin said with a smile to the group of young people who were whispering to each other.

Cui Yin's background is well-known in the martial arts world. She started out as a gangster! Later, she became Wu Shihao's wife...

"Brother can be changed, but sister-in-law? She will always be sister-in-law's!" Huo Qilin said with a smile.

"Then isn't she very pitiful?" someone couldn't help but say.

"Pitiable?" She just came for a stroll, didn't even say a few words, and you feel pity for her? "You want to save her?"

"Wait until you become the big brother, little brother!" Fire Qilin sneered.

Soon, the lawyer came out with Cui Yin.

"Fire Qilin," Cui Yin called out softly, "Could you please let me know if there's anything?"

Huo Qilin smiled broadly, "Okay, sister-in-law, don't worry, Brother Hao should be fine!"

"Thank you!" Cui Yin nodded to him and left with the lawyer.

When she reached the door, she turned to Huo Qilin and said, "The suit suits you very well. Be careful, Huo Qilin!"

"Ah? Yes!" Huo Qilin smiled foolishly. His sister-in-law cared about him!
