I rely on unlimited life extension

Hua Gulong was engrossed in eating the plate of spaghetti in front of him when he suddenly saw Lin Zhihao sit down abruptly. His eyes widened in shock, his mouth gaped open, and the noodles still on his fork were hanging in mid-air. He froze on the spot, staring at Lin Zhihao in disbelief, his face full of bewilderment.

Lin Zhihao didn't bother with pleasantries. He stared straight at Huagulong with a cold expression and questioned him, "Huagulong, you've got some nerve! You still dare to stay in Hong Kong. Aren't you afraid of being dragged out one day?"

Hua Gulong was startled by the sudden question and hurriedly swallowed the large mouthful of spaghetti in his mouth, almost choking. After taking several breaths, he hurriedly explained, "Big brother, please don't wrong me! I've been very well-behaved lately, and haven't even stepped out of the door, for fear of attracting attention and getting myself into trouble."

He's been staying home obediently every day, studying and learning from King, and hasn't caused the slightest trouble whatsoever—heaven and earth can bear witness!

Lin Zhihao listened to Hua Gulong's urgent explanation but didn't rush to respond. He casually raised his gaze and swept it over Hua Gulong's classmate at the table. This glance was shocking; he was so surprised that he almost jumped up and blurted out, "Holy crap, it's Hua Zai with white hair!"

The man was dressed in a neat outfit, his full head of silver hair was striking and unique, and his sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes revealed a coldness and wisdom. Wasn't he the image in my memory?

Lin Zhihao was filled with excitement, his mind racing as he quickly pieced together the clues before him. While He Yong of Tung Sing was busy running the gambling operation, Hua Gu Long was nervously answering his questions, and then there was the iconic white-haired "Wah Jai" before him. In a flash, he realized something, slapped his thigh, and exclaimed inwardly, "This is exactly the plot of 'The Conman 1999'! This is going to be interesting!"

Lin Zhihao felt as if his mind was a high-speed, sophisticated machine, with thoughts colliding and clues connecting. After instantly realizing that he was in the plot of "God of Gamblers 1999", his heart began to beat faster uncontrollably.

He quickly took a few deep breaths, trying to suppress the turmoil in his heart and calm himself down, like an old helmsman who has weathered many storms returning to a calm sea.

After calming down a bit, Lin Zhihao put on a friendly smile, generously extended his right hand to the white-haired Andy Lau, leaned forward slightly, showing his humility and politeness, and said loudly, "Hello, I am Lin Zhihao, the captain of the West Kowloon Serious Crimes Unit. It is an honor to meet you today. I have not yet asked your name."

The white-haired Andy Lau was focused on the food on his plate when Lin Zhihao's sudden conversation caught his eye. He looked up and scrutinized Lin Zhihao for a moment before calming down and speaking slowly and steadily: "Just call me King. I haven't known Hua Gulong for long, and we've only been spending more time together recently."

As he spoke, he reached out to meet Lin Zhihao's outstretched hand, and they clasped hands.

After Lin Zhihao grasped that hand, he did not immediately let go as usual. Instead, he slightly increased the pressure, as if trying to capture past memories from that grip. His brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes revealed contemplation and inquiry. He murmured, "Ah King, could it be the old King Zheng?"

These words, once spoken, were like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples.

Andy Lau's expression suddenly changed. His originally calm and composed face instantly tightened, and a hint of vigilance and unease flashed in his eyes, like a beast whose old wounds had been touched.

Seeing this, Lin Zhihao quickly let go of his hands, waved his hands, and explained with a sincere smile, "Brother King, please don't misunderstand! About five years ago, I happened to take on a case related to you, so I have a deep impression of you. But time waits for no one. Now that I see you again, you have changed a lot. Your black hair has turned completely silver. I didn't dare to recognize you for a moment."

Upon hearing Lin Zhihao mention Ah King's past, Hua Gulong's face turned deathly pale, his eyes widened, and fine beads of sweat instantly appeared on his forehead. He abruptly stood up, the chair scraping against the floor with a screeching sound, and his voice trembled with anxiety as he hurriedly explained, "Brother, please don't misunderstand! My brother King was only recently released from prison, and he's been behaving himself these past few days. He really hasn't done anything wrong. Please don't wrong an innocent man."

Seeing this, Lin Zhihao's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile. The smile was full of composure and understanding. He raised his hand and gently patted Huagulong's shoulder, saying slowly, "Look at you, why are you so nervous? If you haven't done anything wrong, you have a clear conscience, so why are you so afraid?"

However, your current troubles are truly troublesome. If you get caught red-handed one day, I can't say what will happen to King, but you'll definitely be in deep trouble, and you might even lose your life.

Hua Gulong was stung by these words, his face turning pale and then red. He scratched his head awkwardly, forcing a bitter smile, and mumbled, "Brother, it's been a long time, the storm should have passed by now, right? Just to be on the safe side, I settled Mom in Tai O a long time ago. It's far away and quiet there, no one will notice her."

Lin Zhihao crossed his arms, raised an eyebrow slightly, glanced at him calmly, and said indifferently, "I wasn't the one who took over your case, so how would I know the specifics?"

In short, be more careful in the future, and be extra cautious. As for you, Brother King," Lin Zhihao changed the subject, his gaze falling on the white-haired Andy Lau who was sitting quietly listening, a hint of inquiry flashing in his eyes, "you've just come out of there, what are your plans for the future? Are you planning to go back to your old ways?"

The white-haired Andy Lau remained calm until he heard this. A slight smile appeared on his lips, revealing a carefree and unrestrained expression. He pointed at Hua Gu Long and said in a relaxed and teasing tone, "Me? I've been hanging out with Hua Gu Long lately. With Brother Long protecting me, I don't have to worry about food or drink. I don't need to think too much about the future. I'll just take it one step at a time."

After saying that, he reached out and patted the back of the Bone-Melting Dragon, as if to comfort it, or perhaps as a joke.

Lin Zhihao felt as if a stone had been thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples. A thought flashed through his mind, and he made up his mind to find out the truth. With a look of earnestness and expectation on his face, he said, "Brother King, I have something I want to ask you. I don't know if I should say it, but if it's convenient, I hope you will be kind enough to enlighten me."

King, who had been casually leaning back in his chair, straightened up upon hearing this, a humble smile on his face. He waved his hand and replied earnestly, "Mr. Lin, please don't tease me. Please feel free to ask me anything, and I will answer to the best of my knowledge."

Lin Zhihao picked up a glass of orange juice from the table, took a sip to moisten his throat, and looked sincerely into King's eyes, slowly asking, "King, I'm just curious, do you have any wishes in your heart?"

These words were like a riddle thrown into the air, remaining unresolved.

King was taken aback at first, as if his thoughts were caught off guard by the sudden question. After a moment, a slightly bitter smile appeared on his lips. He casually scratched his head and said nonchalantly, "What wishes could someone like me, who just got out of prison, covered in dust and empty-handed, possibly have? I'll just take it one day at a time and live it up."

Lin Zhihao looked solemn, without a trace of a smile on his face. His eyes were fixed on Ah King, full of seriousness and persistence, as if there was an invisible force that could penetrate the surface and reach into people's hearts.

Under such gazes, Ah King's feigned nonchalance gradually froze, melting away like ice and snow meeting the warm sun. His cynicism faded, replaced by a deep longing and yearning.

He tilted his head slightly, gazing into the void, and said in a soft but firm voice, "To be honest, Inspector Lin, I've always hoped to find my wife and son and reunite with my family, but it's very difficult..."

The words ended with a sense of helplessness and melancholy that lingered in the air for a long time.

The system has notified you that you have accepted a random mission: "Where are the mother and child?" Help King find Xiao Fen and her child to receive a mysterious reward.

Lin Zhihao looked serious, his eyes fixed on Ah King, and said in an unquestionable tone, "Leave me your phone number. As soon as I find your wife and son, I'll tell you immediately."

His voice was deep and firm, with a reassuring calmness.

Upon hearing this, a look of seriousness flashed across King's eyes. After a brief pause, he nodded heavily.

He looked around, grabbed the paper and pen from the table, thought for a moment, quickly wrote down a string of numbers, and handed it to Lin Zhihao, saying, "Officer Lin, this is my phone number. I'm leaving everything to you."

Lin Zhihao took the note, carefully folded it, and put it in his pocket. He then said, "We have a supercomputer inside our Six Doors system. It's connected to databases all over the world. Just give me your wife's name, and I'll check it carefully. Maybe I can find some clues."

Upon hearing this, Ah King's spirits lifted, and a spark of hope ignited in his eyes. He hurriedly picked up his pen again, carefully wrote his wife's name on the paper, and handed it over with both hands. His voice trembled slightly with excitement: "Lin sir, this is my wife's name. I'm counting on you."

Lin Zhihao took the paper with his name on it, patted it gently in his hand, and reassured him with a confident expression: "Don't worry, when I get back tonight, I'll call my colleagues in the bureau and ask them carefully. If nothing unexpected happens, we'll definitely have news by tomorrow at the latest."

Ah King's eyes reddened with emotion, his face filled with gratitude. He stepped forward, grasped Lin Zhihao's hand tightly, and shook it vigorously, saying, "Lin sir, thank you so much! I will remember your kindness!"

Lin Zhihao's lips curled up slightly, a smile appearing on his face. He waved his hand and said in a friendly tone, "No need to thank me. You are an outstanding person, a rare talent. I'm just trying to make a good connection."

At this point, he seemed to suddenly remember something, his expression turned serious, and he changed the subject, "By the way, speaking of that incident five years ago, you should still remember it, right? After that, Chimney passed away. However, you may not know that Chimney had a younger brother."

King's previously calm face instantly filled with astonishment. His eyes widened, his head shook like a rattle-drum, his brows furrowed, and he replied blankly, "Chimney has a younger brother? I've never heard of that before."

Lin Zhihao sighed softly, his face full of worry, and slowly said, "His younger brother is called Shengjing. I heard he's a bald guy, and he looks quite conspicuous."

Now he's a manager on a gambling ship, backed by a powerful boss named Ma Jiaowen.

This person has an eccentric personality and is vindictive. You have a past conflict with Chimney, so you must be extra careful in the future and always be cautious.

Inside the room, Lin Zhihao and Ah King were having a lively conversation when Hua Gulong, his face flushed red, stood up, muttered "I'm going to the toilet," and hurriedly ran out.

After a while, Hua Gu Long walked in with his head hanging low and his steps dragging, like a defeated rooster, dejectedly shouting, "King, this is so unlucky!"

I was just outside when a constable stopped me and insisted I play a game of shooting at pillars. Turns out, I had terrible luck, and in the blink of an eye, five hundred dollars was gone!

Ah King raised an eyebrow and subconsciously looked at Lin Zhihao. Lin Zhihao smiled and shrugged helplessly, saying, "Don't look at me like that. I just stumbled over there and lost more than a thousand yuan."

Although he's considered one of my colleagues, I don't know him at all. If you're still angry and want to get revenge, don't worry about my feelings; do whatever you want.

Upon hearing this, King remained silent, stood up, and extended his hand directly towards the Bone-Melting Dragon, palm facing upwards, his expression calm.

Hua Gu Long blinked, looking puzzled, and shrank back, asking, "King, what are you doing? What does this mean?"

Ah King seemed not to hear him, his gaze fixed intently on him, his eyes revealing an unquestionable resolve.

Feeling uncomfortable under his gaze, Hua Gulong scratched his head and raised his voice: "Why are you staring at me like that? I've lost all my money, all my savings just now!"

Ah King remained silent, standing like a statue. Hua Gu Long's lips twitched down, and he muttered pitifully, "I really don't have many coins left in my pocket. That's all I have. If we keep going like this, we'll have to walk back!"

After a brief standoff, Huagulong finally succumbed to King's intense gaze and gave in. Reluctantly, he rummaged in his pocket, pulled out a few crumpled bills, handed them over, and said with a bitter face, "King, this is all I have left. You'd better be careful, or we'll really be on our way out."

Ah King remained calm, waved his hand in the air, and said softly, "Fine, if that's the case, take it as fare and stop bothering me."

After saying that, he turned around and was about to step out the door.

Unexpectedly, Hua Gu Long reacted quickly, grabbing King's sleeve with a gleam in his eyes and shouting urgently and confidently, "King, don't go! I believe in you, you can definitely win, let's try again!"

Clutching the crumpled banknotes tightly in his hand, Ah King strode towards the gambling table under Lin Zhihao's smiling and interested gaze.

The gamblers around him were shouting and making a ruckus, but Ah King seemed to be detached from it all. His eyes were focused, and he exuded a cold and aloof aura. He stood by the gambling table and started playing the "wolf in sheep's clothing" game, throwing himself into the battle.
