Chapter 287 As expected of friends who grew up together, their teamwork was remarkably smooth.
"Well then, since you have something you'd like Mr. Qin Tai to help you with, I'll invite you to tomorrow's ball, where Mr. Qin Tai will also be present."
"See? I told you we're best buddies! Haha..."
"What are you two doing here!"
When Uncle Hua brought Ah Zhan and Hong Dou to the ball, a middle-aged man walked over.
Although the middle-aged man was not wearing a uniform, it was clear from his gestures and mannerisms that he was a police officer.
"Godfather".
"Godfather".
Upon seeing the middle-aged man, A-Zhan, and Hong-Dou, they immediately greeted each other warmly. If Uncle Hua, as their godfather, taught them survival skills, then Uncle Jiang, as their godfather, gave them the warmth of a father.
"You two, you wouldn't be thinking of..."
Before Uncle Jiang could finish speaking, his expression was serious, Ah Hai's voice came over.
"Godfather, how are you? Have you missed us?"
"Ah Hai, what... what happened to you?"
Seeing his godson in a wheelchair, Uncle Jiang's face was filled with worry.
"It's nothing..."
Ah Hai gently patted Uncle Jiang's shoulder, making it seem more like Ah Hai was comforting Uncle Jiang.
"I was just accidentally hit by a car."
"Hit by a car?"
Uncle Jiang's face was full of disbelief. He knew very well what kind of skills Ah Hai possessed, and he also knew the identities of these three people.
Because these three children were raised by Uncle Jiang from a young age.
It all started on the day the three of them failed an assessment and were punished by Uncle Hua by being denied food.
Uncle Hua was very strict with his godsons from a young age. If they failed his tests, they would not get any food that day.
It was precisely for this reason that going hungry was a common occurrence for Ah Hai and his friends when they were young.
With no other option, the three of them had to eat outside.
Their usual tactic is for Hongdou to pretend to be a pitiful little girl and go to a bakery to cry. While the bakery owners chase Hongdou away, Ahai and Azhan work together to steal the bakery's bread.
However, one time when the three of them were stealing bread, they were spotted by Uncle Jiang, who was on duty nearby. The couple who owned the bakery also noticed their theft and asked Uncle Jiang to chase after them.
Uncle Jiang initially thought the three of them were just like normal thieves, but when they reached their destination, he discovered that they not only ate the bread themselves, but also gave it to a blind grandmother.
Ah Hai, the most clever of the three, immediately tried to run away when he saw Uncle Jiang appear, but Uncle Jiang stopped him.
"Arrest me if you want, it has nothing to do with those two!"
Even when they were children, Ah Hai showed his ability as the eldest brother, taking good care of Hong Dou and Ah Zhan.
Uncle Jiang thought they were kind-hearted, so he didn't take them to the police station. Instead, he recognized the three of them as his godsons and treated them to a meal.
That's why Uncle Jiang is very clear about the abilities of the three of them. If you say that Ah Hai hit someone with his car, Uncle Jiang might believe it, but if you say that someone else hit Ah Hai and crippled him, Uncle Jiang naturally wouldn't believe it.
"You did this!"
Uncle Jiang turned his head and glared angrily at Uncle Hua. If looks could kill, Uncle Hua would have been torn to pieces by Uncle Jiang by now.
"Don't think that just because you're a police officer you can frame people at will!"
Uncle Hua straightened his clothes and snorted coldly.
"I'll let it slide this time for my son's sake, but if you make baseless accusations next time, I'll file a complaint against you!"
Uncle Jiang wanted to say something more, but he was pulled aside by A Zhan and Hong Dou.
Ah Hai, meanwhile, maneuvered his wheelchair alongside Uncle Hua.
When Ah Hai saw the somewhat unfamiliar face standing next to Uncle Hua, he knew in his heart that Uncle Hua had already planned to replace him.
"Remember, the reason you're still by my side is because you still have some value. If tonight's operation fails, I'll throw you into the trash can!"
When no outsiders were around, Uncle Hua's face was full of disgust when he spoke!
"Don't worry, Godfather, I will definitely prove my worth!"
Ah Hai lowered his head, his words filled with pleading.
Uncle Hua was very satisfied with Ah Hai's attitude, but because Ah Hai had his head down, Uncle Hua did not see the viciousness in Ah Hai's eyes!
As the music started, the guests at the banquet began to dance. Of course, the most eye-catching pair was Hongdou and Ahai.
Although Ahai is disabled, his control over the wheelchair is truly superb, as if this is not the first time Ahai has been disabled.
The collaboration between Hongdou and Ahai immediately drew applause from those around them.
They not only applauded Ah Hai and Hong Dou, but also gave up their own stage for them.
When the music ended, everyone cheered them enthusiastically.
Hongdou's dance moves naturally attracted Chairman Wang's attention, so when Hongdou took the initiative to go up and invite Chairman Wang to dance together, Chairman Wang agreed without thinking.
However, Hongdou invited Chairman Wang to dance not for the old wine, but for the key on Chairman Wang's person.
As the chairman of the auction house, Chairman Wang always kept the key to the vault on his person.
After all, the auction items in the safe were priceless, and Chairman Wang didn't trust anyone except himself.
During her dance with Chairman Wang, Hongdou also managed to get her hands on the key. Meanwhile, Chairman Wang was in a state of excitement.
I thought this was a friendly gesture from the red bean.
"I knew you guys were going to steal something!"
Uncle Jiang, who had realized that something was amiss at the party, kept his eyes glued to Hongdou and the other two from the moment the dance began.
Therefore, Hongdou's little tricks did not escape Uncle Jiang's eyes at all. Just as Uncle Jiang was about to take back what Azhan had obtained, he was stopped by Uncle Hua.
"Let these kids catch up and enjoy themselves. We elders shouldn't disturb them."
Seeing that he was getting closer to his goal of getting the painting back, Uncle Hua naturally wouldn't let Uncle Jiang go up and stop him.
"But….."
"There's nothing to regret. It's been a long time since we last saw each other. Let's go grab a couple of drinks first."
Under Hua Shu's hospitality, Jiang Shu was pulled away by Hua Shu and left the place. A Zhan also copied the pattern of the key as soon as possible and then returned it to Hong Dou.
As expected of friends who grew up together, their teamwork was excellent.
After doing all this, Ah Hai came to Uncle Hua's side.
"So, Godfather, I still have some use, don't I?"
"You do have some use."
Uncle Hua smiled slightly, but the smile on his face turned cold the next second.
"If your usefulness ends here, you won't be able to participate in the later tasks."
After saying this, Uncle Hua prepared to leave, but Ah Hai grabbed Uncle Hua's clothes and begged him to give him another chance.
"Godfather, please give me another chance. I'm sure I can help."
snort!
This time, Uncle Hua didn't even want to say a word to Ah Hai. Just as Ah Hai was about to step forward again, he was stopped by Uncle Hua's other godsons.
