That night, I, Sun Kuangzi and Huang Ran appeared in a restaurant in the capital that operates Cantonese cuisine and is famous for its expensive dishes. When we three arrived, Meng Qiqi and Zhang Zhiyan were already waiting inside the private room, they had already ordered the dishes, when we entered, the first dish, roast goose, was just brought up.

  Looking at the table full of fresh seafood, Sun Baozi frowned and said: "Is this fish and shrimp interesting? I said last time that the halal restaurant was really good. You guys just had to come here to eat Cantonese cuisine." Although he said so, when it came to eating, he didnt hesitate at all. In a few mouthfuls, Sun Baozi single-handedly finished half of the roasted goose.

  As the dishes were served one after another, Sun Wukongs chopsticks slowed down: "Im not saying this, but do you have to be like this? We already have abalone, why order lobster too? Now were eating our own food, thinking theres a public expense account or something. I said it before, dont make this a habit."

  He had just finished speaking, when the door of the private room opened again. The waitress walked over, took five exquisite ceramic plates from the trolley and placed them in front of us: "Fresh Australian abalone, please enjoy..."

  "Alright, this time doesnt count either. This time its AA (everyone pays for themselves). I didnt touch the abalone, whoever wants to eat it can take it away."

  Meng Qiqi gave Sun Pingzi a glance, took his abalone and put it in front of Zhang Zhiyan. Then he said to Sun Pingzi: "A small amount of money is not worth mentioning, but a large sum of money is better if you dont know about it. Pingzi, just relying on the family property you brought out from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, you can eat for several lifetimes and still wont be able to finish it off. If not, Ill keep the family property of the Ministry of Civil Affairs here, and Ill take care of your daily expenses as interest. Ten years later, Ill return it to you in full, what do you say?"

  Sun Baozi swallowed the food in his mouth and smiled wryly, saying: "What family property do I have? Those are all left to me by Old Wu and Er Yang. Let alone storing it with you, I dont even dare to touch it easily. Chili, isnt that what I said?"

  As Sun Baozi spoke, I was just swallowing the last mouthful of abalone. After taking a sip of water and clearing my throat, I followed up on what Sun Baozi said: "Who dares to touch their stuff? If you even look at those three twice, theyll glare at you for several days."

  As soon as I finished speaking, Monquiqui stared at the white hair on my head and said in surprise: "Arent you all of the same breed? Youre not even okay?"

  This remark made me somewhat unacceptable, looking at Meng Xiaojie, I said: "What is a breed? Speaking of which, you are..." Originally, I wanted to mention her and Wu Rendais past life things, but as soon as I started talking, I realized that I had misspoken, and immediately swallowed the rest of my words.

  But still, Monkichiki became suspicious: "What am I? Speak clearly"

  Just as I was about to pull Sun Bao over to smooth things over, Huang Bao, who had been quiet the whole time, spoke up and said: "He says youre a rich second-generation kid who doesnt know how to be frugal with money. But isnt it just one meal? This way, we dont need to split the bill or report expenses. Ill treat this meal, if its not enough, you guys can keep ordering and consider todays meal a freebie."

  "You should have said so earlier!" Sun Baozi heard the two words and immediately became emotional, shouting loudly towards the door: "Is anyone there? Bring over the menu!" After this shout, the waitress walked in from outside, and Sun Baozi turned his head to Zhang Zhiyan and said: "Little stutterer, is there anything youd like to eat? Im not saying it, dont be polite to Old Huang, you ordered too cheaply, you wont be happy"

  Zhang Zhiyan opened his mouth and stared at Sun Baozi for a long time before squeezing out one word: "Wing..."

  Sun Baozi didnt hear clearly, furrowed his brow and said: "Its just to let you eat, but first tell me what do you want to eat"

  Zhang Zhiyan continued to open his mouth, but couldnt make a sound. Finally, he stomped his foot and said: "Chi! Fish fin! Tianjiu Chi!" He stomped his foot with each word, and after saying these few words, his right leg was numb from the repeated stomping.

  "Foodie" Sun Baozi chuckled and winked at Zhang Zhiyan, then turned to Meng Qiqi and said: "Big sister, its your turn, hurry up, the waitress is waiting!" As he spoke, he had already handed over the menu and continued to say: "Xiao Yiyi didnt come today, you guys have similar tastes, you order a few dishes for her, Ill bring them back to her later"

  These few people turned the situation around with their jokes and teasing, putting the matter to rest. Instead, it made Meng Xiaojie miss Shao Yiyong even more. Not long after they finished eating, she took some packed food to look for Shao Yiyong. Zhang Zhiyan was afraid that she wasnt familiar with the roads in the capital, so he voluntarily became her driver and took Meng Xiaojie to Shao Yiyongs home.

  After they left, only Sun Baozi and I were left, plus Huang Ran, who was even more unrestrained in eating and drinking. We drank until after 11 oclock, and the three of us were all a bit drunk. Huang Ran was the first to not hold on, his big fat body lying flat on the wine table, instantly snoring.

  "Hahaha, no way, I cant outdrink you with foreign liquor, but with Chinese liquor, Ill let the three of you have it!" Sun Baozi burst into a fit of laughter as he looked at Huang Ran, who was fast asleep.

  After he finished laughing, I poured two cups of tea and handed one to Sun Baozi. After drinking a cup myself, the drunken feeling got a bit better. After chatting about some trivial matters, we somehow ended up talking about what happened during those two years when I was unconscious.

  "I said first: Great saint, at the beginning I slept for two years. After waking up for two years, the peoples court was dismissed, what was the situation in the court during those two years?"

  Sun Baozis eyes were slightly dim as he looked at me, and suddenly he smiled, saying: "You asked the right person. Im not bragging, but back then, our department really did have a few big cases. At that time, Old Gao was completely focused on Lin Feng, and these cases were all handled by me..."

  Its probably because there is no longer the pressure of being the deputy director of the Public Opinion Bureau, plus the fact that he had a few drinks. Sun Wuzi, who rarely opens his mouth, told me about everything that happened in the Public Opinion Bureau during my two-year coma.

  At first, I fell from the gate board mountain and was unconscious. First, I had a simple treatment at a local hospital, then I was sent back to the capital by a special plane of the Civil Affairs Bureau overnight. I was placed in a hospital famous for treating external injuries.

  In the first few days, the hospital gave me dozens of critical illness notices every day. Later, Sun Baozi was anxious. He personally guarded in the hospital and lived in my ward every day. The received critical illness notice was directly torn to pieces and thrown on the face of my attending doctor, each time only replying: "Sent wrong, there is no such person!"

  Facing this very backgrounded troublemaker, my several attending physicians were also quite headache. However, as my injury stabilized later on, Sun Baozis relationship with the doctors also eased a lot. He also moved out of my ward and just came over every day to chat with me for a couple of sentences.

  Half a year after I fell into a coma, Sun Peng came to the hospital to visit me on his way back from a meeting. That day, he was wearing a second-class police uniform and walked out of my ward, and when he reached the elevator, he saw a dark and thin man in his fifties holding up his pants walking out of the toilet opposite.

  Sun Baozi and the man exchanged a glance, both of them were taken aback, then they both showed an awkward expression. The man who came out of the toilet was called Zhang Zihua, although he looked down on his luck now, eight years ago he was also a powerful underworld boss. Although he mixed with the underworld, he wasnt a bad person.

  Sun Baozi came out of the police school as an undercover agent, and his first big brother was him. At that time, Zhang Zihua was blinded by pig oil, thinking Sun Baozi was pleasing to the eye, often telling some unknown secrets to Sun Baozi after drinking. In this way, he exchanged a ten-year fixed-term imprisonment in confusion. After several reductions in sentence, Zhang Zihua stayed in prison for eight years.

  This is just over three months since he was released from prison, but unexpectedly, everything has changed after coming out. The original younger brothers are either gone or still in prison following his footsteps. Several of those who mixed well have also risen to become bosses and no longer show the warmth they once had towards Zhang Zihua.

  Zhang Zihua couldnt take it anymore and didnt want to go back to his old ways. In the end, he arrived in the capital, planning to find a job honestly and live out the rest of his life steadily.

  However, reality is often cruel. After Zhang Zihua arrived in the capital, he couldnt find a job for a long time. As the days went by, his money was almost all spent. Just when he was about to become destitute, he saw news in the newspaper about selling kidneys. At that time, Zhang Zihua had no other choice, and thought to himself: "Everyone has two kidneys, selling one can still make do." Selling one for a few hundred thousand yuan would be enough to start a small business and get by for the rest of his life.

  However, Zhang Zihua had never done this before and couldnt find a way in. Just when he was about to post small ads on the street, he suddenly remembered that when he went to the hospital for medical treatment with a headache, he often saw such small ads in the hospitals toilet.

  Today was his first time in the hospital, and as soon as he came out of the bathroom, he saw a certain Sun Baozi. Zhang Zihua had always thought that Sun Baozi had run away after his accident, but now that they met again, he suddenly realized that Sun Baozi was actually the undercover agent arranged by the police to be by his side.

  The two of them stared at each other for a while, and before they could say anything, they heard the voice of the cleaning god in the toilet yelling: "Who is this shameless hand that wrote *s advertisement on the toilet wall again? 13xxxxxxxxx, your waist will rot in your belly!"

  Upon hearing this number, Sun Baozi smiled somewhat awkwardly and said to Zhang Zihua: "The number hasnt been changed yet?"
