Chapter 78: Jockey Club

It was another lonely night, and surprisingly, there was no star in the sky flashing!

Young Master Yang personally sent him back to the hospital with Rolls-Royce. I took a comfortable hot shower, and I lie on the hospital bed in my thin pajamas on the phone.

It's been two days since we were in contact with Han Xue. Whether it was a wall, a thorn, or a setback, you could experience the value of true love. Only by taking the initiative to go out and saving love can Han Xue and I have a bright future.

Otherwise, time will pass, waiting for Han Xue to stop being sad and return to her side is not practical!

I remember to listen to Henry and Young Master Yang’s two love prodigal sons talking about their relationship at night, and I felt more and more that falling in love was not an easy thing.

In their words, women need romantic feelings. Without sexual love, they feel holy, while sexual romance will make women unforgettable and lose themselves.

The process of falling in love is compared by Henry to siege and defending the city. In addition to having sufficient ability reserves, it also needs to have a strong mentality to endure failure. In love, not only does it require a lot of knowledge and thoughts. In addition to coaxing and deceiving, it also requires operations research, military science, post-black science, etc., so that you can face it and carry on the past and open up the future...

The two masters have said so much, but now when recalling it, it seems to make some sense.

People say that women are fickle, and they also say that women are needled under the sea. Han Xue's performance during this period is very consistent with this.

In the past, Han Xue was just a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a tantrum. But after coaxing her for a long time, the sweetness and fun I felt when she burst into tears and smiled, made me fall in love with her more. In this atmosphere, life naturally became vivid and interesting, and was memorable.

But what about this time?

Han Xue was really angry. Thinking of this, I could instinctively pick up the phone and dial the familiar string of numbers!

"Sorry, the user you called has been turned off now. If you need the other party to call back, please..."

Halfway through hearing this, I hung up the phone and then called home without hesitation, making sure to find Han Xue.

"Dou...dou...dou..."

But the busy voice kept coming to my ears, and my heart was half cold. Although it was late at night, it was impossible for the Han sisters to sleep so hard, and they didn't hear the loud phone ringing at all!

Are they not at home and are going back to their villa for the New Year?

This idea popped up in my head. The more I thought about it, the more likely it was, but I called in the middle of the night. If Han Xiaotian and his wife woke up, Han’s mother would deepen her prejudice against me, what should I do?

Forget it, the impression needs time to change. This time the situation is special, so I will be bold.

After thinking about it, I pressed the phone number of the Han family villa again, and then pressed my phone on my cheek, hoping that someone would answer it immediately so that the ringtone would not wake up others.

"Dou...dou...dou..."

It’s strange. During the Spring Festival holiday, why did the villa phone still sound busy? What about the servants from the Han family?

I couldn't make the phone call, and I had no choice but to have a trace of regret, put down the phone, and slowly fell asleep...

On the morning of the third day of the Chinese New Year, the morning sun shone over the entire earth and shone everything warmly.

Qi Bing carried a bag of clean clothes and signaled the G4 team members who were guarding the door of the ward to open the door. Then she walked into the ward without saying a word.

The warm sunlight shone directly in from the window, reflected on the delicate face of the man sleeping by the window. The white bed was shining under the sun, with a faint halo. Qi Bing gently put down his clothes, glanced at the wound that was bandaged on the back of the other person's head, and then he turned and retreated silently.

"Good morning, what time is it now?"

When the sun shone on the head of the bed, I woke up with my thoughts. I opened my eyes and made the phone call first. But after getting the same result as last night, I continued to close my eyes and lay on the hospital bed, bathed in the sun and thought quietly until I heard the sound of the door opening and felt a shadow shaking in front of me. Then I opened my eyes, stared at Qi Bing's beautiful back, and spoke.

"At 9:17, fifteen minutes later, I'll bring you breakfast!" A calm tone answered, Qi Bing turned around, stared at my eyes, and said, "Is there anything else?"

I sat up, met Qi Bing's eyes, and smiled and tried to stay, "Sister Bing, I have something I want to ask you for help?"

This is the first time since I contacted Hong Kong, I have returned to my previous title. Qi Bing was a little uncomfortable with this and paused for a moment and said, "I dare not! You are an advisor to the State Council. If you have any questions, please give me instructions!"

"Actually, it's nothing. I want to ask you to help me investigate a person's whereabouts. I want to know where she is? Is it OK?"

It didn't feel difficult, Qi Bing didn't think much and agreed readily: "Okay, you said!"

Qi Bing nodded, and I knew there was a way. She sat upright and said, "Her name is Han Xue, she lives..."

"Just that host of Oriental Channel? Do you know each other?" After hearing this, Qi Bing's eyes swayed, and he rarely showed a clear and curious face.

"certainly!"

Qi Bing was worried that I would learn from Henry and harass public figures when I had status, so she confirmed again: "Absolutely? She knows your name?"

"Yes, she must know me!" Qi Bing's words made me laugh and I couldn't help but shake my head and sigh.

Seeing that my expression was realistic and not as if I were cheating, Qi Bing regained his expression and asked, "Okay, I will call back to Shanghai later and find someone to help you investigate! Is there anything else?"

I smiled awkwardly and urged, "No more, I just can I contact you immediately? I'm in a hurry!"

"Well, then okay, just breakfast will be delivered to you later!"

"No problem, please urge me and notify me immediately when there is any news. I really have something urgent!"

"I understand, don't worry!" After Qi Bing said that, he took the door freely and left the ward, leaving me in deep thought and guessing Han Xue's whereabouts.

※ ※

The white clouds were floating in the sky, and the clock was still tick-tick.

Deeply feeling boring and boring, I leaned against the head of the bed with my laptop in my hand and spent my boring time online.

After waiting for a long time, a regular knock on the door came into my ears. I looked up and saw Qi Bing and a group of young men dressed neatly and capable on the outside appeared at the door of the ward.

"What are they?" I asked with a questioning look at Qi Bing.

"Come in!" Qi Bing said, closing the door tightly, straightening his back, making an introduction gesture, and narrating in a capable manner: "Mr. Pan, these nine are comrades from the Second Department of the General Staff, and enjoy judicial power. Usually, the security of the guards of the Central Military Commission and the leaders of each headquarters are responsible for. This time, under the instructions of the superior, they will serve as your accompanying bodyguards and be responsible for your personal safety for 24 hours!"

The Prime Minister's words were still in his ears that day, but now everything has come true!

I walked out of bed. Although I was in a bad mood, I still smiled and walked up to shake hands with these young men with short hair and firm expressions one by one, and said in a whisper: "Hello, I am Pan Junyu, please take care of you in the future!"

"Sir, it is our duty to protect you!"

These young men of twenty-five or six years old all raised their heads and chests, raised their right hands and saluted me.

Seeing their heroic and arrogant appearance, I couldn't help but smile, shrugged, and looked at Qi Bing, "Sister Bing, it seems that there are too many?"

Although I understand what I mean, this group of well-trained soldiers did not interrupt and waited for Qi Bing to explain: "In fact, it's not too many. These nine comrades from the Guard Bureau will be divided into three groups, one shift of twelve hours, and take turns to protect your safety in the form of an "invisible bodyguard"!"

"What does the ‘invisible bodyguard’ mean?"

As soon as I spoke, the soldier closest to me suddenly took a step forward, greeted a standard military salute, and made a brief report: "Report to the Chief, the 'invisible bodyguard' is different from the personal bodyguard. It has the style of the British royal bodyguard. We have outstanding protection capabilities, but it does not appear within the Chief's sight and will not affect your daily life. The report is over!"

I changed my previous worries and quietly remembered these faces. I said with great joy: "Oh, so that's it. Then I'll bother you all in the future!"

"Where is the responsibility, please rest assured!" The nine people still remained motionless and answered in unison again.

After a brief contact with the nine soldiers, I had something hidden inside, so I found an excuse to send them out of the ward. I walked to Qi Bing in a hurry, smelled the faint body fragrance on her body, and hit her shoulders in a flattering way, and said with a smile: "Sister Bing, how are I doing? Is there any news?"

"It's not so fast. It's about the afternoon at the earliest. I'll prepare lunch for you!" Qi Bing saw it in my attentive look, rolled his eyes without hesitation, and then withdrew from the ward after saying that.

...

After lunch, the quiet atmosphere in the ward spreads all over the body, just like the spring breeze in March.

I leaned gracefully on the sofa, supported my head, and after entering the mobile phone number of the "Invisible Bodyguard", I happened to receive a call from Henry: "Junyu, I am Henry, I will arrive at the hospital in five minutes, you can prepare!"

"Okay, I'll come out now!"

The changed satellite phone added a confidentiality factor, so I made my contact information public, hung up the phone, and I put my clothes on, and pushed open the door in a small step.

As soon as the protector walked out of the ward, Wen Ke and Qi Bing immediately got the news. The two immediately left the rest room. After meeting with me to learn about the situation, Wen Ke led a group of G4 members into the elevator with me, while using radio to get in touch with everyone. "Groups a, b, c, please pay attention. The 'boss' is going to the horse farm, drive the car over immediately!"

"I understand, the 'groom' is in place in one minute!"

I don't know how busy the G4 team members are around me. When I walked out of the hospital hall, three brand new Audi A6 modified cars were parked neatly at the hospital door. I paid attention to the surroundings. Sure enough, there was an Audi car driven by an "invisible bodyguard" not far away waiting for the side.

Looking at my eyes, Qi Bing stood on tiptoe and whispered: "Our people are all in place, please rest assured!"

I glanced at Qi Bing, who was of outstanding temperament, nodded, and was not in a hurry to get on the bus, causing a large group of people to stand in the sun and wait for Henry's arrival.

The golden Rolls-Royce drove into Ren'ai Hospital on time. In the car, Young Master Yang, Henry and Su Yang looked around. Seeing me standing at the door under the protection of a group of G4 members, they all thought to themselves that it was not simple.

"Junyu, should you take my car?" Rolls-Royce stopped at the hospital door. After Yang Shao said that, Su Yang got out of the car from the back row obediently, came to me a few steps, and whispered: "Junyu, listen to Young Master Yang, sign an agreement by the way!"

"OK!"

So Henry and Young Master and I sat in the spacious back seat, and Su Yang sat in the passenger seat. In this way, the Golden Rolls-Royce drove towards the horse farm safely under the front and rear of the four Audi A6s.

Not long after the car was driving, Young Master Yang took out an agreement from his briefcase and handed it to me seriously, saying, "Junyu, look at it. If there is no problem, just sign here! Our principle is that no matter how deep the friendship is, everything will be done according to the rules when doing business."

"That's natural!"

20 million is not a small amount for me, so I carefully read the terms of the agreement and found that there was nothing different from the details of the negotiation last night. I happily signed the Daming on the four agreements and collected the agreement that belonged to me.

After talking about business, the atmosphere in the carriage immediately became relaxed, and the topics of Henry, Su Yang and Young Master were nothing more than horse racing.

It is understood that Hong Kong horse racing has a history of more than 100 years.

The person who hosts horse racing and horse gambling activities is the Hong Kong Jockey Club, which is referred to as the "Jockey Club" for short. This is a very special institution. It is neither a government department nor a social group, nor an operating company. It has no shareholders, does not belong to any investors, and does not have any profit requirements.

It is essentially a charity organization, and its surplus is all included in the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charity Trust Fund, and the charitable donations approved every year reach more than HK$1 billion. Therefore, the "Jockey Club" is the largest charity in Hong Kong and the institution that pays the most taxes in Hong Kong. The various taxes it pays exceed HK$10 billion each year, accounting for more than 10% of the total tax revenue of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government.

Hong Kong horse racing is a horse season from early September to the end of June of the following year. Horse racing is twice a week, Wednesday, Saturday (or Sunday), one game every day and night. There are 78 games in the whole horse season. The marathon starts at 1:30 pm, one game in half an hour, and one game in half an hour, and one game in 10 games; the night games starts at 7:30 pm, and one game in half an hour, and one game in seven games.

The third day of the lunar calendar is a special festival in Hong Kong. Horse racing is held every day today.

So in short, horse racing penetrates every corner of Hong Kong almost every moment. The signs of the Jockey Club stand on the high-rise buildings, the information about horse racing is broadcast on the TV, and the "horse scriptures" published in the street tabloids. Everyone talks about it from taxi drivers to cleaners, from senior supervisors to rich bosses.

Horse racing has even become a unique custom in Hong Kong.

There are now two horse farms in Hong Kong, one is the 150-year-old old horse farm, which is located in the Happy Valley near Causeway Bay, Hong Kong Island; the other is the new horse farm built with land reclamation, located in Sha Tin, New Territories.
