"When you get married in the future and stay at home all day, you'll end up like this too!"
Li Ling actually has a strong preference for Hong Kong housewives. She has always been discerning and has a deep understanding of gossip. She was even able to foresee the on-again, off-again relationship between Adam Cheng and Lydia Shum. She is even more professional than the paparazzi!
He expressed his admiration!
I rang the doorbell several times, but no one answered the door; clearly, no one was home.
He and Lam Po-tsai stood in the corridor, waiting anxiously.
It's a little past one in the afternoon. The neighbors who are supposed to be at work are at work, and those who aren't are playing mahjong or taking a nap. They waited for an hour but didn't see any neighbors pass by.
Around three o'clock, a big fat man rolled over.
The fat man, carrying a bunch of keys, headed straight for room H.
When he arrived at the door, he noticed Lin Baozai. Instead of opening the door in a hurry, he tilted his head and stared at him with a puzzled look.
After looking at him for a moment, he stretched out his thick index finger and shook it in front of Lin Baozai: "You...you..."
After saying "you" four or five times, his drowsy eyes suddenly lit up: "You're Lin Baozai?"
"Yes!" Lin Baozai got nervous around strangers and snuggled closer to Li Ling before asking, "Boss, how do you know my name?"
"It really is Baozai!" The fat man was overjoyed and grabbed Lin Baozai's shoulder. "I've been looking for you all morning, I was almost going crazy!"
"Why are you looking for me?" Lin Baozai shook off him and hid behind Li Ling. "Brother Ling, I'm scared if you talk to him!"
"Silly boy, this chubby guy knows your name, he must be a friend of your family. What are you afraid of?" Li Ling stretched out his hand in front of the chubby man.
"Hello, my name is Li Ling. I escaped here with Baozai last night. Because Baozai's family broke their promise, Brother Changwei asked me to escort him."
We tried calling, but no one answered. We had no choice but to go to their house in person!

Chapter 83 Walking the dark road too often will always lead to injury.
"So it's Brother Ling! You're truly a chivalrous person! Thank you so much! It's a pleasure to meet you!"
Despite his large and chubby appearance, the fat man doesn't look very old; he's probably only in his early twenties.
"I've been worried all day, most afraid that Baozai would be kidnapped by the gang. Luckily you took him home, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to explain to his family," the fat man said gratefully.
"What exactly happened to his family?" Li Ling cut to the chase.
"Come inside!" The fat man didn't answer, lowering his voice, "Let's talk inside!"
Upon opening the door, the first thing you see is a shoe cabinet. Further inside is the living room, which isn't furnished with too much furniture, but it has a scholarly atmosphere, and the walls are covered with art frames.
The fat man must be a frequent visitor here. He first took two cans of "Yiquan" brand beverage from the refrigerator, handed them to the two men, and then pointed to the kitchen:
"Baozai, have you eaten yet? Your mom likes to make egg tarts, and there are a lot left in the kitchen. If you're hungry, go get some yourself."
"Brother Ling took me out to eat, it was American food." Lin Baozai stayed close to Li Ling, secretly looking around the house like a guest visiting someone else's home.
"Why are you so reserved at home?" the fat man said with a smile.
"That's the bathroom over there, go take a shower if you need to. That's the bedroom your mom gave you, go sleep if you want."
Lin Baozai just kept looking around and didn't say anything.
Li Ling nodded at him: "Don't just stand there like an idiot. Go to the kitchen and see if there's any hot water, and look for some tea leaves. This big shot has been looking for you for ages, you should pour him some tea to thank him."
He's taking the initiative.
"Okay, Brother Ling, I'll go right away." Lin Baozai felt at ease.
"So obedient to you?" The fat man was extremely surprised. He invited Li Ling to the sofa and asked probingly:
"Brother Ling, you're illegally crossing the border. You'll probably run into trouble coming all the way from Yuen Long. Did Baozai encounter something along the way and get scared?"
"Didn't you ask?" Li Ling explained calmly, first asking the other person's name.
"Oh, my name is Chen Guang, and I work at Jiahe Cinema."
"To be able to work for Tycoon Zhou, Mr. Chen, you must have something special."
"No way, I'm just trying to make a living! I'm not under contract, I'm a temporary worker, and I'm not an actor, I just do odd jobs on set."
“I heard that Jackie Chan of Golden Harvest Star also rose from a temporary worker. As long as you can endure hardship, getting a contract is only a matter of time.”
"Insightful!" Chen Guang praised. "Brother Ling, you're quite familiar with the entertainment industry in Hong Kong."
Actually, he was a little uncomfortable talking to Li Ling, and he was always unconsciously led astray.
"I've had contact with several left-wing film producers from Hong Kong on the mainland. I wouldn't say I'm intimately familiar with them, but I'm not exactly strangers either," Li Ling explained, stopping short of revealing the truth.
"Mr. Chen, let's talk about Baozai's family!"
He didn't reveal the details, only concerned with his own situation: "To be honest, I have no relatives in Hong Kong. Escorting Baozai this time wasn't entirely a good deed; I also had plans to seek refuge with them."
Chen Guang noticed his frankness and also openly recounted the situation of Baozai's family:
“At midnight today, Baozai’s parents and older brother were in a private car to pick him up in Tin Shui Wai, Yuen Long, but they were involved in a car accident on the way. They have all been taken to the hospital.”
"My dad, mom, and older brother were in a car accident? Is it serious?" Lin Baozai walked over carrying a tea bottle and burst into tears upon hearing this.
"Baozai, don't worry," Chen Guang quickly reassured him. "Your dad's injuries aren't serious, your mom has a broken left leg, and your older brother is in a coma due to a concussion. Your dad is taking care of them at the hospital."
"I want to go see my mom." Lin Baozai missed his mom so much that he wished he could grow wings and fly to her side.
