Sometimes, the things flying in the sky are not reliable. Although Fei Hu and A-Lian boarded the plane, they ended up waiting for over two hours because of an unexpected incident with the air traffic control at Hong Kong airport. The flight only took off once everything returned to normal.
They were originally supposed to arrive around five in the afternoon, but by the time they left the airport, it was already past seven in the evening. The night view of Hong Kong was so beautiful that it made one reluctant to leave. A-Lian couldn't help but stop in her tracks as soon as she saw it. Fortunately, Fei Hu had experience from his last trip to Hong Kong, and he had asked A-Lian to book a hotel in advance. Otherwise, they wouldn't have known where to go.
When they checked into the hotel, Fei Hu discovered that A-Lian had booked two rooms. They could have shared one room, so he wondered why she spent extra money on this. Perhaps Fei Hu was thinking too simply; after all, A-Lian was a woman and had her own ideas. Maybe this was a good thing.
After putting their luggage away and tidying up a bit, Fei Hu took A-Lian out onto the streets. He wanted her to enjoy the night scenery of Hong Kong, and they hadn't eaten yet. Even if they didn't go out, his stomach was already protesting; he felt hungry even before getting off the plane.
Without much money to spend, they kept things simple. Fei Hu led A-Lian through several streets until they found a place called A Liang Rice Noodle Shop. They casually ate a little there and then strolled along the street. To outsiders, seeing them chatting and laughing closely might make them think they were a couple on their honeymoon visiting from the mainland.
It was indeed uncomfortable to walk around without spending money, especially with a girl by his side. In the end, Fei Hu decided to bite the bullet and took A-Lian back to the hotel. After taking a shower, he lay on the bed alone, pondering how to arrange a meeting with Boss Hong since so far they only had one phone number and no idea where he lived.
Just then, there was a knock on the door. When Fei Hu opened it, he found A-Lian standing there. He quickly invited her in. Fresh from her shower, A-Lian wore a thin and sexy nightgown that made his heart race. As soon as she entered, she noticed something in Fei Hu's eyes and smiled, saying, "Keep your eyes in check; we have serious business to discuss." With that, she sat down at the head of the bed.
As A-Lian sat down on the bed, Fei Hu's gaze shifted slightly and caught sight of her fair skin peeking from her partially open neckline. He struggled to control his excitement and obediently sat across from A-Lian.
"Have you thought about how we should act tomorrow? I'm worried that if he notices us and hides away, it will be difficult for us to find him. Hong Kong is so big; finding someone here is like searching for a needle in a haystack," A-Lian said while glancing at Fei Hu. It seemed that being alone together made them both feel somewhat awkward.
Fei Hu thought for a moment and suggested, "How about we check with directory assistance tomorrow for the specific location of this phone number?"
"That's impossible; directory assistance won't give you someone's address; that's against their rules," A-Lian replied with a shake of her head, looking disappointed.
Fei Hu realized that the problem had been oversimplified by them, and he wondered what to do about it. He stood up and began pacing around the room. If this were in City A, it might not be too difficult to find someone through connections, but here in Hong Kong, who would he know?
Suddenly, Fei Hu stopped in his tracks, a smile appearing on his face. In his haste earlier, he had forgotten about her. Before boarding the plane, Bald Zhang had given him Zhang Jia's phone number in Hong Kong, saying she would be there for the next few days and that he could call her if he needed anything. Remembering this, Fei Hu took out his phone and started searching for Zhang Jia's number.
"Do you have a plan?" A-Lian asked eagerly, leaning forward. Since the bed was soft, her body sank even lower.
Oh my! With this movement, A-Lian almost revealed herself; her two treasures were nearly exposed from her chest, causing Fei Hu's heart to race and his breath to quicken as he momentarily forgot to respond to A-Lian. Noticing something was off, A-Lian looked up and saw Fei Hu's greedy eyes fixed on her chest. Her face flushed red as she crossed her arms over her chest and said sharply, "Be careful or your eyeballs might fall out!"
Fei Hu snapped back to reality and paused before saying, "I want to contact Zhang Jia and ask for her help in locating the exact address of this phone number."
"Oh! Is that the big star you've been talking about? She might not be interested in such matters, but you can give it a try. You never know; there might be some hope," A-Lian replied with a smile.
Fei Hu nodded, found Zhang Jia's number, and dialed it using the hotel phone. To his surprise, the call went through with a beep.
"Hello! Who is this?" a pleasant female voice came through the line. Fei Hu recognized it as Zhang Jia.
"Hello, Miss Zhang! This is Fei Hu. I have something I need your help with; I hope it's convenient for you," Fei Hu said politely since he was asking for a favor.
"Fei Hu? Oh! I remember now! Haha! What brings you to Hong Kong?" Zhang Jia sounded very excited on the phone; it seemed that Fei Hu's presence in Hong Kong was quite unexpected for her.
Fei Hu paused briefly to gather his thoughts before smiling and saying, "Yes, Miss Zhang. I arrived this evening on an afternoon flight. The thing is, I'm trying to find a friend here, but I only have his phone number. I was wondering if you could help me find his address so I can visit him."
"Haha! You're not telling me the whole truth. Why wouldn't your friend give you his address? Just be honest with me; if I can help, I will definitely do so. Don't worry about anything—just tell me the truth about the situation. If you're afraid to say it, then I'm afraid I can't help you," Zhang Jia responded quickly and perceptively.
Fei Hu hesitated for a moment before explaining how Boss Hong owed A-Lian money and had run off to Hong Kong to hide. Upon hearing this, Zhang Jia immediately shouted on the phone, "I'll help with this! What kind of nonsense is Boss? He has no sense of social responsibility. It's only right to pay back debts; he can't just run away from the Earth. Give me his home phone number, and tomorrow I'll bring people to help you track him down. We'll definitely find him, just wait for good news!" To Fei Hu's surprise, Zhang Jia was very eager to help once she learned he was there to collect a debt.
After hanging up the phone, Fei Hu clenched his fists in excitement. This matter finally had a preliminary result, and he hoped everything would go smoothly from here on out. Naturally, A-Lian was also very happy upon hearing this news. The two chatted casually for a while before A-Lian stood up to take her leave and return to her room. After she left, Fei Hu felt a pang of regret; why hadn't he asked her to stay? Such a great opportunity with such a beautiful woman had slipped right past him.
The next morning, around seven or eight o'clock, Fei Hu lay in bed unwilling to get up. He knew that without any news from Zhang Jia, it would be pointless to rise; it was better to enjoy a little more time in bed.
Suddenly, there was a loud knock on the door, followed by A-Lian's voice: "You lazy pig, are you still not up? I'm going downstairs for breakfast. If you're not up soon, I'll bring it back for you, but if you're still asleep when I return, I'll throw it away without waiting even a minute. You figure it out!" Hearing A-Lian's footsteps fade away, Fei Hu quickly sat up in bed.
Just after finishing washing up, A-Lian returned with Soup Dumplings, which were Fei Hu's favorite. He grinned and asked, "These are from the hotel? Not bad at all! I'll wake up earlier tomorrow."
"Dream on! The hotel staff doesn't allow food to be taken outside; I bought these for you from outside. Hurry up and eat! Who knows, Miss Zhang might call after you finish eating, and then we can take action," A-Lian said anxiously. It was clear that she was very worried; over five hundred thousand depended on this operation. If they couldn't get it back, it would be a huge problem—equivalent to losing both the wife and the soldiers.
Fei Hu glanced at A-Lian and then lowered his head to eat. Suddenly, his phone buzzed with a message notification. Knowing that for this operation he had arranged for Xiao Qi to activate international roaming for both him and A-Lian, he felt a surge of excitement—perhaps it was good news.
He opened his phone to find a message from an unfamiliar number. Controlling his excitement, he gently tapped the screen to open the message. It simply read: "No. 216 Huangpu East Road (No. 86)." It was very straightforward, but Fei Hu understood it clearly.
A-Lian snatched the phone from Fei Hu's hands and upon seeing the message jumped up joyfully like a child. Her excitement caused her chest to bounce up and down, making Fei Hu stop eating and stare intently at her face. Overjoyed, A-Lian didn't care about Fei Hu's admiring gaze; she continued jumping with enthusiasm.
Once they calmed down from their excitement, the two left the hotel and hailed a taxi straight to their destination. Throughout the ride, neither spoke nor had any interest in looking at the beautiful scenery outside. Both were anxious about what awaited them next—what if the person wasn't there? What if they were at the wrong place? Or what if there was no one by that name at all? These thoughts weighed heavily on their minds.
The car came to a smooth stop, and as Fei Hu and A-Lian got out and looked around, they were taken aback by the grandeur of their surroundings—it turned out they were in a villa area. Observing the environment around them, A-Lian couldn't help but curse, "This bastard owes money to others yet knows how to enjoy himself!"
