I rely on unlimited life extension

Cheng Yi suddenly laughed. He picked up the gun and handed the handle to the man, a hint of provocation in his eyes.

The man seemed to have been stung by a wasp, and he took a step back abruptly, saying in a trembling voice, "Sir, I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you, okay?"

As he spoke, he shakily handed the camera to Cheng Yi.

Cheng Yi took the camera, a slight smile playing on her lips as she looked at him: "Take out all the film you have on you."

The man's eyes were filled with terror, but Cheng Yi's expression remained unchanged as she coldly stared at him, pushing the gun handle forward a little more.

The man shuddered, hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and took out a roll of film from his inner pocket.

Cheng Yi took the film, his eyes still wary. He reached out and carefully searched the man twice, not missing any corner where the film might be hidden, until he was sure he had all the film in his hands before he stopped.

Then, he reached out and took the man's ID card, carefully examined the information on it for a while, and then took out 2 yuan from his pocket and put it in the man's hand.

The man took the money, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead. He felt like he had been granted a pardon, and covered in cold sweat, he turned and hurriedly left, afraid that Cheng Yi would change his mind.

Cheng Yi turned around and went back into the Eight Immortals Restaurant. As soon as he entered, he saw the group of people still whispering and coordinating their stories. He frowned slightly, but ignored them.

He walked straight to where Chili and the waitress were. When he got to Chili's side, he gently took her hand, his eyes filled with tenderness.

Little Chili looked at Cheng Yi with concern in her eyes. She smiled, raised her hand, and gently touched Cheng Yi's still slightly red neck, asking softly, "Does it still hurt?"

Cheng Yi felt the warmth of Xiao Lajiao's hand, nodded, and said with a look of relief, "Luckily, you shot me, otherwise it would have been really dangerous today. I almost died at that guy's hands."

Little Chili nodded slightly, then pointed to the waitress next to her and said, "Just now, Sister Hua told me that she discovered something upstairs."

There were traces of blood where the wall met the floor, but she didn't dare make a sound because of the situation.

Cheng's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly led the waitress upstairs.

Guided by the waitress, they arrived at a corner on the second floor. Cheng Yi crouched down and examined it carefully. Sure enough, he found some dark red bloodstains in a crack at the very bottom of a wall.

The bloodstains were not completely wiped away, as if silently telling the story of something unusual that had happened here.

A while later, Inspector Li arrived in a flurry with Ah Mai's team, followed by his colleagues from the forensic department.

For a time, the Eight Immortals Restaurant was filled with the sounds of people being questioned and given statements, and the busy figures of forensic colleagues collecting clues from the scene. The scene was bustling with activity.

After everything was settled, Cheng Yi and the others returned to the police station. It was already very late, and night had almost completely enveloped the city. Exhaustion swept over them at this time.

The group held a brief meeting at the police station, where Ah Rong gave a detailed report on the Eight Immortals Restaurant case.

After listening attentively, Inspector Li asked Ah Wing to submit a more detailed report later.

It was only then that everyone noticed the time; the hour hand had already pointed to a very late hour.

Seeing his tired and somewhat hungry colleagues, Cheng Yi suggested that he treat everyone to a simple meal.

Everyone knew that the Cheng family was well-off and had plenty of money, and after Inspector Li nodded in agreement, they all readily agreed.

So, on Amai's recommendation, the group went to Tao Tao Ju.

According to Ah Mai, Tao Tao Ju, located in Yau Ma Tei, is quite remarkable. It is a century-old restaurant that has always specialized in Cantonese cuisine.

Since its opening at the end of the Qing Dynasty, it has won the hearts of every diner with its exquisite culinary skills, earning rave reviews from all who have tasted it.

Tao Tao Ju has two main characteristics. First, it preserves traditional and classic Cantonese cuisine, such as the white-cut chicken with yellow skin and white meat, which is tender and delicious, and the honey-glazed char siu with bright color and a perfect balance of sweet and salty. Each dish is a classic of Cantonese cuisine, carrying the taste of old Guangdong.

Secondly, new dishes are introduced every week for diners to try, and diners are invited to leave reviews. The head chef will decide whether to keep the new dishes on the menu based on these reviews.

This innovative business model, which respects diners' opinions, makes Tao Tao Ju stand out in the catering industry.

To be honest, Cheng Yi had never been to a restaurant as unique as this before.

With a group of colleagues, Cheng Yi arrived at the bustling Tao Tao Ju restaurant in Yau Ma Tei.

Upon entering the store, you are greeted by its antique decor and lively atmosphere.

But when it came time to order, Cheng Yi was stumped.

The menu was filled with a dazzling array of dishes, including familiar classic Cantonese dishes as well as some unheard-of new dishes. He was at a loss for what to choose, scratching his head and getting caught up in a dilemma.

Since everyone knew that Cheng Yi was a rich young master, they unanimously recommended him to order the food.

Cheng Yi suddenly felt immense pressure and inwardly groaned.

He thought to himself, "Cantonese cuisine? Where have I ever eaten it? Let alone eaten it, I can't even name many of the dishes."

But seeing the expectant looks in the eyes of the constables around him, he couldn't refuse and could only bite the bullet and take the menu.

He nervously licked his lips, his eyes instinctively glancing at the clean, elegantly decorated private room, trying to appear calm. He then said to the waiter, "How about this, serve the dishes according to our number of people, making sure everyone gets a specialty dish. There should be chicken, fish, mountain and sea dishes, cold and hot dishes, fast and slow dishes, is that alright?"

Tao Tao Ju is a renowned time-honored restaurant. Its waiters serve countless Chinese and foreign tourists every day and have also seen many picky diners. What kind of strange and unusual requests haven't they heard?

But Cheng Yi's seemingly cryptic ordering method today still left the waiter stunned. He stood there, his brows furrowed, momentarily at a loss for what to do.

When Cheng Yi saw the waiter's reaction, his heart sank. He thought to himself, "Oh no, this is so embarrassing. It seems my attempt to impress didn't work."

However, he was quick-witted and immediately said, "Go and call your manager over so he can make arrangements for us."

As he spoke, he waved his hand dismissively, trying to hide his embarrassment.

Cheng Yi's unconventional and almost bizarre way of ordering food truly stunned all the officers present.

Everyone looked at each other, their eyes filled with surprise.

The girl next to Cheng Yi couldn't help but gently nudge him and whisper, "Yi, isn't your request a bit too much for the waitress? She seems a bit confused."

Cheng Yi felt a little uneasy, but he still forced himself to pick up the teacup, took a small sip, and said calmly, "Really? I think it's perfectly normal. You can ask Inspector Li if you don't believe me; isn't this request quite normal?"

Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Li Xiuxian.

Feeling the eager gazes, Li Xiuxian felt a little helpless, but not wanting to spoil everyone's fun, he tried his best to appear calm and composed, nodding slightly and saying, "That's right, it's normal and meets our dining needs."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere around the table immediately became lively, and everyone began to chatter about the dishes that were about to be served.

After a while, the restaurant manager arrived.

The manager, dressed in a smart uniform and with a big smile, first bowed respectfully to everyone, and then said enthusiastically, "Thank you for visiting Tao Tao Ju."

I just heard from my assistant about everyone's order requests, and after careful consideration, I have arranged the following dishes for you: Pepper Pork Tripe Stew. The rich and mellow pepper flavor permeates every fiber of the pork tripe, making it both warming and delicious.

Crispy suckling pig, with a skin as crispy as paper, makes a 'crunch' sound when you bite into it, and the pork inside is tender and juicy;

Stir-fried king crab with ginger and scallions: The crab meat is plump and sweet, and the aroma of ginger and scallions perfectly complements the deliciousness of the crab meat.

West Lake Chrysanthemum Fish is shaped like a blooming chrysanthemum. The fish is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a sweet and sour taste.

Hand-shredded salt-baked chicken is savory and flavorful, and the hand-shredding method preserves the original fibrous texture of the chicken.

The roasted duck has a reddish-brown skin that is thin, crispy, and glossy, while the duck meat is delicate and firm.

Yunnan ham and tripe soup: the salty and savory flavor of the ham and the crispness of the tripe intertwine, creating a rich and complex texture.

Like a treasure hidden in the snow, this dish is simple in appearance but full of wonders inside.

Braised chicken with abalone and shark fin is a classic main dish. The rich flavor of abalone, the smooth texture of shark fin, and the tenderness of chicken are perfectly combined.

We also have thin-skinned shrimp dumplings; the shrimp meat is fresh and bouncy, and the dumpling skin is crystal clear. Does anyone else have any other requests?

Everyone turned to look at Cheng Yi.

Cheng Yi forced himself to remain calm, trying to appear nonchalant. He cleared his throat and said, "Okay, that's settled then. By the way, what would we like to drink? Just so you know, I'm driving, so I can't drink. Everyone can order whatever they want."

Upon hearing this, Little Chili immediately raised her hand excitedly and shouted, "I want to drink champagne to celebrate today's success!"

Her eyes sparkled, full of anticipation.

When Little Chili saw that everyone's eyes were on her, she became a little embarrassed and lowered her voice unconsciously. She said shyly, "I... I've only heard that champagne is pretty good, but I've never had it before."

Cheng Yi didn't say anything, but silently turned to look at the manager.

The manager understood immediately and said with a smile, "We have Paulinger Champagne 1965 here, a fine wine that we just received recently."

For other guests, I might not say much, but you are all distinguished guests, so I must give you a proper recommendation.

The manager continued, “This champagne is extraordinary; it’s renowned for its low sugar content of just 6 grams and its complex and captivating flavor.”

When you taste it, you can feel its fresh and intense flavor, like a fairy dancing on your tongue.

It also has the fresh and natural fruity flavors of apple and plum, creating a rich and intoxicating taste.

It is a carefully crafted blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, perfectly preserving the consistently high quality of the Bollinger brand, making it a true gem among champagnes.

At this point, the manager paused for a moment, then said somewhat apologetically, "However, this champagne is indeed a bit pricey, costing $15,000 a bottle."

Upon hearing the price, Little Chili's expression instantly changed, her mouth slightly agape, as if she was about to say she didn't want the champagne.

But just then, Cheng Yi's eyes lit up, as if he had discovered a treasure. Without hesitation, he stretched out his finger and shouted, "One bottle isn't enough! Give me two!"

Seeing this, the manager's smile grew even brighter, like a blooming flower. He bowed respectfully to everyone again, then turned and quickly retreated to prepare the champagne.

After the manager left the private room, the constables looked at Cheng Yi with excited eyes, as if they had discovered a rare treasure.

Ah Hui hurriedly picked up the teapot, his face beaming as he refilled Cheng Yi's teacup, his eyes filled with anticipation and excitement: "Ah Yi, that's champagne that costs $15,000 a bottle!"

"Being able to drink such top-quality champagne, I feel like my ancestors' graves must be emitting auspicious smoke. It's all thanks to you!"

Ah Wei, however, frowned and muttered calculations to himself while counting on his fingers. After a while, he said with a puzzled look, "Um... 15,000 US dollars, how much would that be in Hong Kong dollars?"

Upon hearing this, Amai reached out and slapped Awei, scolding him, "Look at your silly face, what are you calculating?"

Look at Ah Yi, when has he ever been stingy when it comes to spending money? Stop worrying about it, just relax and enjoy the champagne.

Ah Rong frowned slightly, shook his head, and said with a worried look, "15,000 US dollars! That's too expensive! What kind of champagne is this? How can it be so pricey?"

Hey, do you think we might have been scammed by that manager? Is he going to try and make a killing off us? Don't fall for his tricks!

As Arong spoke, she glanced at Cheng Yi, a hint of unease in her eyes.

Cheng Yi sensed the expectant, doubtful, or worried looks in everyone's eyes. He quickly turned the topic to Li Xiuxian and said casually, "15,000 US dollars for champagne, that price is actually not bad."

"Once you sit in Mr. Lee's position, you'll understand that this level of liquor is quite common at some banquets, right, Mr. Lee?"

Li Xiuxian was taken aback at first, not expecting the topic to suddenly turn to him.

He glanced at the crowd staring at him expectantly, and with no other choice, he forced a smile and said, "Ah, that's right. We often get to drink this kind of champagne when we attend important banquets."

"Oh dear, you're still at a low level and haven't seen much yet. Once you're in my position, you'll realize these are all commonplace things."
