Chapter 800: There Are Always Those Who Walk Unflinchingly in the Darkness

”By the way, I think I just saw someone.”

Liu Rulan looked at Tong Junhui, hesitating as if she wanted to say something but stopped.

Tong Junhui looked back at her with some confusion. ”Who?”

”The one who charged into the burning building with Xiao He to rescue people back then.”

Liu Rulan mentioned this in a very vague manner, and Tong Junhui immediately realized who she was talking about.

But the shock on his face wasnʼt fake. ”What? Heʼs actually here too? And he was almost recognized by your production teamʼs Weifeng?”

Then, without bothering to focus on anything else, Tong Junhui immediately asked about the production teamʼs solution. ”How did you handle it?”

”I told Mr. Bao it was all a misunderstanding. Heʼs so immersed in the masterʼs divination that he probably has no intention of pursuing it further.”

Xiao He leaned back in his seat and said casually.

Tong Junhui visibly exhaled in relief. ”Thatʼs good to hear.”
Then the man sat up straight and thanked them with great sincerity. ”I really owe you both for this. Iʼll compensate you for any losses incurred.”

”Thatʼs really not necessary.”

Liu Rulan waved her hand, and Xiao He nodded in agreement. ”We actually have a habit of treating the whole production team to cold drinks or afternoon tea from time to time. Itʼs just a regular expense for our team. Brother Tong, you really donʼt need to worry about it.”

Tong Junhui was taken aback. ”But Weifeng...”

”Hah, you donʼt need to worry about Weifeng at all.” Liu Rulan glanced sideways at Xiao He. ”Even if no one else sneaks snacks to Weifeng, this guy definitely will. After all, heʼs one of the many people who feeds him!”

Xiao He rubbed his nose and scratched his head. ”I really just genuinely like Weifeng. As for the feeding, that was all Lyu Dunʼs doing.”

”Someone gives it to you, and you just feed it to him? Arenʼt you afraid someone might set you up?”

Liu Rulan crossed her arms and sneered sarcastically, while Xiao He swore confidently, ”Donʼt worry, Sister Liu. Usually, Iʼm the one setting others up. No oneʼs ever set me up.”

Liu Rulan let out a scoffing laugh.

Tong Junhui didnʼt say anything. He just watched the two of them interact, a faint hint of envy flickering in his eyes.

”But speaking of which, Weifeng did recognize that person, didnʼt he?”

As if sensing Tong Junhuiʼs mood, Xiao He turned the conversation back to include him.

Tong Junhui was silent for a moment, then nodded and said very subtly, ”He used to be a man from Hong Kong, back before he went to the mainland. Weifengʼs former owner was his close partner. He probably caught his scent and got a bit worked up.”

So it was an old acquaintance after all.

Xiao He nodded in understanding. ”No wonder Weifeng was so excited. And that former owner of his...”

”Heʼs already fallen in the line of duty.”

Tong Junhui lowered his voice and whispered.

Instantly, all three fell silent, the room enveloped in stillness.

After a long while, Liu Rulan murmured, ”No wonder Weifeng hasnʼt been adopted to this day.”

If his owner were still alive, he would surely have arranged a proper life for Weifeng after retirement.

But of course, that wasnʼt to say the current police force wasnʼt taking good care of Weifeng. It was just that if the man were still here, Weifengʼs life would definitely have been different.

Maybe they wouldnʼt have even met on this set.

Xiao He let out a long sigh but didnʼt finish his thought. ”So, they really are...”

Worthy of admiration, worthy of respect.

Narcotics police—people who walk on the edge of a blade, with an incredibly high casualty rate. They risk their lives, conceal their identities, walk on the fringes of darkness, and use their flesh and blood to guard the peace of countless homes.

But so many more of them remain unknown to the world.

Silently, just silently, they give everything they have...

”So is this why you suddenly came to Hong Kong?”

Liu Rulan looked directly at Tong Junhui. ”What do you want to do?”

Tong Junhui pressed his lips together tightly. After a long silence, he finally spoke. ”I heard that the Dong family in Hong Kong used to be on good terms with the Chen family. The cruise party this time was also first proposed by the Dong family, with the Bao and He families responding in turn. Iʼm really uneasy about it, so I wanted to attend next monthʼs cruise party and board the ship to see whatʼs going on.”

”But I never expected to run into Officer Cheng here first, and for you all to be able to talk to the Shipping King of the Bao family...”

Tong Junhui had never thought of asking Liu Rulan and the others for help. By relying on his own once-glamorous identity, he could have used some of his old connections in Hong Kong to successfully score an entry slot.

Mind you, that was just an entry slot, not even a formal invitation letter. It meant the organizers hadnʼt invited him, but he could still board the ship with someone else.

But Tong Junhui had never imagined that while he was just stopping by to visit Liu Rulan and Xiao He, he would witness the Shipping King, Bao Xingsheng, personally handing Xiao He an invitation letter and actively inviting him to the cruise party.

This was completely beyond Tong Junhuiʼs expectations.

What kind of magic did Xiao He possess that could make Bao Xingsheng personally invite him?

How much background and power did he have?

It wasnʼt that Tong Junhui looked down on Xiao He. He just genuinely couldnʼt figure it out, couldnʼt understand it at all!

”And I heard from Zhou Junhao that you didnʼt plan to board the ship. Why did you suddenly change your mind?”

He looked at Xiao He, and for the first time, a hint of curiosity surfaced in his usually dull eyes.

Originally, when he learned that Xiao He and the others werenʼt planning to board, he had secretly breathed a sigh of relief, hoping they would stay far away from all this trouble.

But he never expected Xiao He to change his mind so quickly.

”Uh—”

Xiao He scratched his head, unsure how to explain.

”And you, why do you want to board the ship?”

Xiao He looked openly at Tong Junhui and said bluntly, ”Youʼve already completed your mission. Why do you still want to get on that ship?”

Since this trouble had nothing to do with him, why get involved?

Tong Junhui was choked by the question.

Naturally, because some people had already gone home.

But some people... were still unflinchingly rushing toward the most dangerous, most unknown ”battlefield” for the safety of the people.

”I just want to do something.”

Tong Junhui said with some difficulty.

If before, Tong Junhui couldnʼt be sure what dangers might arise on the ship, now that heʼd heard Sister Liu and the others say theyʼd seen Officer Cheng Bei among the Bao familyʼs entourage, he absolutely had to board and see for himself.

”The cruise party has its own security system. The police have no authority to intervene. My identity can serve as cover for me. If anything happens on board, I might be able to help a little.”

This two-day, one-night cruise party, jointly organized by several of Hong Kongʼs business tycoons, was fully controlled by a private security team specially hired by the organizers.

As a top-tier private party, law enforcement officers would certainly not be allowed to board at will. The undercover Officer Cheng Bei could only sneak on board disguised as a member of the Bao familyʼs bodyguard team.

But once the cruise ship sailed into international waters, it fell outside territorial law enforcement jurisdiction. Completely isolated from the outside world, if danger truly struck, there would be no way to call for help in time.

Tong Junhui didnʼt think he could actually help with a fight or assist the police in finding evidence and leads.

He just hoped that in the most critical moments, he could at least do something on the periphery.
