Central, a French restaurant.

Two European-style four-wheel carriages stopped in front of the restaurant, and Hua Twelve and his mixed-race disciple Williamson came out of the restaurant to greet the guests.

Four white bodyguards got off the first carriage and protected the carriage behind.

A tall, middle-aged white man in a formal dress walked out of the second carriage.

When the white man saw Williamson, he smiled and nodded, then turned around and extended his right hand. A beautiful young Chinese girl on the carriage held his hand and stepped out of the carriage.

At this time, Williamson stepped forward and bowed slightly: "Good evening, Uncle Mei, Miss Regina."

This middle-aged white man is the guest that Hua Twelve will invite today, ‘Francis Henry May’. The Hong Kong Island Police Department in this world is also the Chief of the Hong Kong Island Police Force, Sir May.

Before Hua Twelve entered the mission world, he had learned about the world he was in around 1900. In reality, there was also Sir Mei. This man was incredible. He later became the governor of Hong Kong and was the only one on Hong Kong Island who had ever been a police officer.

The leader of the team, the Hong Kong Governor, is a real golden thigh.

Frances Henry May smiled: "Hey, little Williamson, you have grown so big after not seeing me for several years!"

The Chinese girl also gave Williamson a noble salute: "Hello, Williamson!"

Williamson turned his body sideways, revealing Hua Twelve behind him, and introduced the two of them:

"Uncle Mei, this is my master, Chong Yang, who is also the one who invited you to the banquet today!"

Then Williamson said to Hua Twelve: "Master, I don't need to introduce you to this one. The beautiful lady next to you is Uncle Mei's daughter, Lizhenna!"

"Hello Mr. Mei!"

When Hua Twelve stepped forward, he would not bow to the foreigners, but used the now popular handshake.

Upon seeing this, the two white bodyguards immediately stepped forward to stop him. Francis Henry May only glanced at Hua Twelve and had no intention of shaking hands with him. He just said lightly:

"My daughter played tennis with her friends for a long time today. I believe she is hungry now. If anything happens, let's go in and talk about it!"

"Daddy!"

Regina was a little embarrassed when her father told the two young men that she was hungry. She had a shy expression on her face and shook Frances Henry May's arm reluctantly.

This Lizhena Hua Twelve looks familiar, she seems to be the daughter of the high-ranking official in the "Sequel to Plan A". Now that she meets her, she should be Sir Mei's daughter.

They didn't shake hands with him, so Hua Twelve was not embarrassed at all. He extended his hand in a gesture of invitation:

"Mr. Mei, Miss Regina, please come inside!"

He smiled on his face but cursed in his heart: "This old foreign devil!"

Francis Henry May let his daughter hold him on his arm and walked straight into the restaurant. Unlike this arrogant and rude foreign devil, his daughter nodded apologetically towards Hua Twelve before entering the restaurant.

The four white bodyguards did not follow the restaurant, but stayed outside to guard the carriage.

When the father and daughter entered the restaurant, Hua Twelve asked Williamson in a low voice:

"Why does this foreign devil have a Chinese daughter?"

Williamson heard a black line:

"Master, I am of mixed race. Have you considered my feelings when you call me a foreign devil?"

Hua Twelve said with a sneer: "We are our own people. Master, what can I say about you? I say Lao Mei!"

Williamson smiled bitterly and shook his head, explaining:

"Legena and I are in the same situation. We are both mixed-race, but she looks like her mother. She has no white features. She also grew up in Hong Kong Island. You can consider her Chinese!"

Hua Twelve nodded and entered the restaurant with Williamson.

Williamson had already ordered the food, and when everyone was seated, the restaurant manager began to instruct the waiters to serve the dishes. The pre-dinner wine was French sparkling wine, also known as champagne, the appetizer was French pan-fried foie gras, and the main course was chicken braised in red wine.

One after another delicacies were served on the table, making the guests and hosts very appetizing.

Francis Henry May and Williamson talked and laughed, but paid little attention to Hua Twelve, who paid for the treat.

What's interesting is that Hua Twelve ignored him and just tasted the delicious ingredients of this era.

At first, Regina just apologized for her father's arrogance, so she kept paying attention to Hua Twelve, but she found that the other party didn't seem to care about her father's rudeness, nor did he care about her somewhat embarrassing situation.

It's not the kind that doesn't care just to please, but the kind that doesn't matter and doesn't seem to care at all.

Moreover, after Hua Twelve became a rich man in the previous world, others often invited him to eat Western food. This was not considered a skill, so the memory was completely preserved. Therefore, the etiquette of eating French food was very standardized, and he seemed to be born with an aristocratic temperament.

.

If she hadn't looked at his appearance, Regina would have suspected that he was an aristocratic son from a European royal family.

This made her feel very interesting and strange, having heard about the other party's background from her father in advance.

So she decided to do Hua Twelve a small favor, and immediately approached her father and whispered: "Daddy, I think out of politeness, you should ask Mr. Shen the purpose of inviting you to dinner, right?"

After Francis Henry May finished eating, he wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin, and then said to Hua Twelve:

"Zhongyang, right? Since it was Little Williamson who brought you to me, I will give him a face and tell him your purpose!"

Hua Twelve also put down the tableware, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and then said with a smile:

"Sir Mei, I believe you must have investigated my background before. Speaking of which, I am still your subordinate. I am a Chinese patrol officer in the Central District and a three-time champion in the police force competition. I heard that the police academy intends to start fighting.

Course, I think regarding the fighting course, I should be able to fulfill the duties of an instructor."

A smile appeared on the corner of Frances Henry May's mouth, but it was not a smile, but a contemptuous mocking look that felt funny.

"Chongyang, I know you!"

"I also know that you recently opened a martial arts gym and made a lot of noise. The flower grower in your Chinese newspaper, The Times, commented that you were sensationalizing!"

"As your commander, I hope you can abide by police discipline and not do so many things even in your spare time!"

"As for the instructor of the Police Academy, Deputy Qi of the Police Department has recommended Officer Hong Tianci who has returned from training at Scotland Yard. I believe that the boxing he learned in our empire where the sun never sets is much more useful than your sensational skills.

!”

As mentioned before, the assistant officer in the Hong Kong Island Police Force means supervisor. There are currently three Chinese assistant officers in the police force. The two land police officers are Assistant Officer Qi and Smith, and the marine police officer is Ma Rulong’s immediate boss, Shi.

deputy.

The reason why Hua Twelve covets the position of combat instructor at the police academy is because the instructor's rank is trainee assistant, and his promotion to assistant officer is guaranteed. As long as he can become a combat instructor at the police academy, his career in the police force will be greatly improved.

Speaking of which, it can definitely be regarded as a shortcut to the south.

Hua Twelve was not surprised to hear Francis Henry May's flat refusal, but what made him frown a little was that the other party's attitude towards him seemed unfriendly.

The corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a smile:

"Sir Mei, don't be too busy to refuse. I think the boxing you are talking about is absolutely inferior to our Chinese martial arts. Besides, I believe that everything in this world has its own price, including this instructor position.

do you think so?"

Just kidding, foreign devils in this era can only make money openly. Not to mention the police force, many positions in municipal departments are clearly priced these days. Hua Twelve asked Williamson to find Francis Henry May, the head of the police force.

I want to spend some money to get it right in one go, and avoid the hassle of promotions one by one.

Sure enough, Francis Henry May saw that he knew the rules, and an imperceptible smile appeared on his originally arrogant face.

But what people didn't expect was that Regina, who was originally somewhat interested in Hua Twelve, now showed a disgusted expression and said to Francis Henry May who was standing aside:

"Daddy, I'm a little tired, let's go now!"

Frances Henry May shrugged at Williamson: "I'm sorry, I have to send my daughter back. As for this matter, I'm sorry that I have already promised Assistant Qi, so that's the end of it!"

After saying that, he stood up, nodded to Hua Twelve and Williamson, and took his daughter out.

Williamson stood up to see the guests off, while Hua Twelve sat there with no intention of seeing the guests off, but continued to eat. This meal was worth a lot of money, and it was all his hard-earned money.

He didn't think about the matter anymore. Looking at the old foreign devil's attitude, it was obvious that others also spent money. It would be better to think of other ways later.

Williamson sent Francis Henry May and his daughter out of the door, waited for them to get on the carriage, and then turned back and apologized to Hua Twelve:

"I'm sorry, Master, I didn't expect Uncle Mei to bring Regina here. She despises this kind of benefit transaction the most!"

Hua Twelve shook his head indifferently: "It's okay, this road is blocked, there is another way, come and eat!"

He said, snapping his fingers to the waiter, and ordered two lobsters and one for each of his apprentices.

Bang, bang, bang...

There was intensive gunfire outside the restaurant. Hua Twelve and Williamson turned to look. Through the restaurant glass, they happened to see two carriages that had just turned around outside. Due to the gunfire, several horses had been killed and overturned.

The ground and even the carriage were brought down.

Among the four bodyguards of Francis Henry May, two of them had fallen into a pool of blood.

The remaining two bodyguards, while firing, desperately pulled Francis Henry May out of the carriage and rushed into the restaurant again.
