Chapter 784 Acquaintance
“Ouch!”
It happened in a flash. Just when Song Yuanchao was about to get into the gap, the two policemen behind him chased after him. As Song Yuanchao suddenly appeared in front of them, the two policemen could not avoid him in time and bumped into him directly.
Song Yuanchao exclaimed, turned sideways, and most of the bowl of chicken wings in his hand slipped out and splashed out.
The police quickly dodged, but even so they were still covered with a lot of food. In addition, the chicken wings were still warm, which frightened the two young policemen so much that they jumped up and down in a panic.
"What the hell!" Song Yuanchao didn't get any dirt on himself, but it was a pity that he hadn't finished eating the chicken wings. He didn't even wait for the police to speak before he said in dissatisfaction: "You're running around in the street without any eyes? My chicken wings! I haven't even had a few bites and it's been ruined!"
Being obstructed by Song Yuanchao, Liang Jiahui in front ran away in a blink of an eye, and the two young policemen had several spots of chicken wings stained on their bodies, looking embarrassed.
One of the young policemen tried to continue chasing, but when he looked up, the person he was chasing had disappeared, and Song Yuanchao reached out and grabbed his colleague, questioning him angrily.
"Flop!"
The person he was chasing disappeared, and his body was covered with sticky stuff. It would be strange for the young policeman to be in a good mood. He waited for Song Yuanchao angrily, and couldn't help asking Song Yuanchao why he suddenly appeared.
"You're asking me?" Song Yuanchao pointed at himself with a look of astonishment. "Sir, this is the street! It's a place for people to walk! Don't make a mistake. You guys were the ones who rushed around and knocked my things away. Shouldn't you apologize to me first? What's your attitude?"
The young policeman was stunned by what Song Yuanchao said. He was about to explain something subconsciously, but suddenly realized that there was something wrong with the other party's accent.
Although Song Yuanchao spoke Cantonese, his Cantonese was not fluent and had a distinct mainland accent. Seeing that Song Yuanchao was dressed in ordinary clothes, the young policeman frowned and asked Song Yuanchao directly for his ID card.
"Sir, could you please show me your ID card?"
"ID card? Why?" Song Yuanchao asked back.
"I now suspect that there is a problem with your identity. Please show your ID card. If you don't have it, please come back to the police station with us." The young policeman said seriously according to the procedure.
At this time, his partner cleaned up the chicken wings residue on his shoulder, walked directly behind Song Yuanchao, and sandwiched Song Yuanchao with the young policeman, looking vigilant.
"Sir, please make clear what happened just now. It was clearly you who knocked over my things. Shouldn't you apologize first?" Song Yuanchao did not answer his question about the ID card, but continued to ask about the collision just now.
The young policeman frowned. He didn't expect Song Yuanchao to be so stubborn at this time. Not only did he not show his ID card, but he also continued to mention the collision. It would have been fine if Song Yuanchao didn't mention it. Once he mentioned it, the young policeman got even angrier. If Song Yuanchao hadn't suddenly appeared just now, the two of them would have caught Liang Jiahui long ago.
Liang Jiahui has been working as a hawker in Causeway Bay for a long time. He has been fighting guerrilla warfare with the police. They have tried to catch him several times but failed. This time they thought they had it easy, but an unexpected thing happened again, which made the young policeman very angry. Now Song Yuanchao, who is standing in front of him, is clearly a mainlander in the eyes of the young policeman, and may even be a illegal immigrant. The young policeman just took out his anger for not catching Liang Jiahui on him, even though he has legal status. Who made him unlucky to run into him?
"I repeat again! I now suspect that there is a problem with your identity, please show your ID card!" The young policeman continued with a stern face, without mentioning the incident of knocking over Song Yuanchao's bowl of chicken wings.
Song Yuanchao was just delaying to cause trouble, and the young policeman's attitude was exactly what he wanted. He immediately became furious and continued to ask about the collision. He kept saying that it was the policeman's fault and didn't apologize. Instead, he asked him for his ID card? What was the logic? Even if he doubted his identity, an apology was one thing, but that was another matter. Were the policemen so rude?
Perhaps because of his dissatisfaction with the police's reckless pursuit of the hawker, or perhaps because of the sympathy of ordinary Hong Kong people for the weak, Song Yuanchao's questioning actually aroused the approval of passers-by. Several passers-by said that what Song Yuanchao said was not a problem. First of all, the police knocked over the things in Song Yuanchao's hands. Given this situation, isn't it normal for the police to apologize to Song Yuanchao?
As for checking the ID card, it is indeed the police's job, but because of what happened before, the police directly asked to check the other party's ID card without any apology, which cannot help but make people think of the possibility of retaliation.
As a result, everyone had an opinion on the attitudes of the two policemen and agreed with Song Yuanchao's request, saying that the police should indeed apologize first. Apologies are apologies, and ID cards are ID cards. The two are not in conflict.
For a moment, there were many people watching the excitement and standing up for justice. The two young policemen might be newcomers and obviously lacked experience. They were at a loss for a moment and didn't know how to deal with the situation. They could only bite the bullet and continue to ask Song Yuanchao for his ID card. Both sides were in a stalemate.
"What happened?" A voice came from outside. The young policeman hurriedly looked over there. When he saw a familiar senior sister walking towards him, he was immediately overjoyed.
"Madam! There is a suspect here, and I suspect his identity is problematic! He is not cooperating with our police work now!" The young policeman hurriedly shouted over there. As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of boos from all around, as if people were quite dissatisfied with the content of the young policeman's words.
"What's going on? What happened?" Madam, dressed in casual clothes, walked in through the crowd with a serious face.
When the two young policemen saw Madam approaching them, they immediately stood at attention and saluted. Of course they knew this Madam, as she was a trainee inspector, a much higher rank than their ordinary police officers.
One of the young policemen stepped forward and whispered to his superior what had happened. He did not dare to hide anything from his superior and told him what actually happened. However, he still mentioned that he suspected Song Yuanchao had deliberately colliding with them in order to prevent them from catching the fleeing vendor. Moreover, they now suspected that Song Yuanchao's identity was problematic and he might be an undocumented illegal immigrant, so they asked to check his ID card.
Madam frowned slightly as she listened to her subordinates' stories, but she didn't say anything. She planned to ask the person involved about the situation. Although she believed that her subordinates would not lie, as a leader she could not just listen to one side of the story and jump to conclusions. She had to get to the bottom of the situation first.
Madam motioned her subordinates to stand aside and walked towards Song Yuanchao, ready to ask about the situation. When she approached Song Yuanchao and saw clearly who the person who had a conflict with her subordinates was, she was stunned, her steps paused slightly, and then she walked forward quickly.
"Mr. Song, why are you here?"
"Victoria, what a coincidence." Song Yuanchao laughed. It was really a coincidence that this Madam was an acquaintance, and a very familiar one.
She is Junzi’s wife Victoria. Luo Yang and Junzi are good brothers. Song Yuanchao and Junzi have known each other for a long time. Song Yuanchao knew Junzi when they were in Dazhalan .
After arriving in Hong Kong, Junzi first worked as a manager in Luo Yang's company. Later, due to work needs, Luo Yang demoted him to the grassroots level for training and reassigned his position.
However, Junzi worked very hard. Instead of being devastated by the job adjustment, he relied on his own abilities to get back to the position of manager. Now he is one of the senior executives of Luoyang Company.
Junzi met Victoria after he came to Hong Kong. The two met by chance and fell in love with each other, and soon reached the stage of discussing marriage.
They have been married for quite some time and have a very good relationship. It was because of Junzi that Victoria naturally got to know Song Yuanchao. Last year during the Spring Festival, Junzi and Victoria went to Song Yuanchao's house together to have the New Year's Eve dinner. They are very familiar with each other.
"What a coincidence, this is my jurisdiction and I happened to be nearby. Why did you come back, Mr. Song? Are you going to the company to do some work now?" Victoria greeted Song Yuanchao with a smile.
The familiarity between the two of them stunned the two young policemen. They never thought that this Chinese man who they said was suspected to be suspicious was actually known by their boss, and it seemed that the Madam respected him very much.
For a moment, the two looked at each other in silence, their hearts were in turmoil. This time, not only did they fail to get back their face, but they also offended their boss's friends, and they couldn't help but feel uneasy.
"Why call me Mr. Song? Isn't that too formal?"
"Brother Song, hehe..." Victoria suddenly playfully imitated Junzi's way of addressing Song Yuanchao and for a moment, the sharpness of a police officer in her disappeared, replaced by the playfulness of a young woman.
It was at this time that Song Yuanchao suddenly remembered that Shenghua’s headquarters and Luo Yang’s company were near Causeway Bay, and Victoria’s jurisdiction was also here. Otherwise, how could Junzi have met Victoria and become a couple with her?
Victoria chatted with Song Yuanchao for a few words, and suddenly remembered what her subordinates had said just now. Her face suddenly turned serious and she turned around to call the two young policemen over. She pointed at Song Yuanchao and said, "This is Mr. Song. I can guarantee that there will be no problem with his identity. As for what happened just now, I have also learned about it. As the Royal Hong Kong Police, you have caused trouble to ordinary citizens in your work. You know very well what to do according to the procedures. I don’t need to teach you this, right?"
As she spoke, her sharp eyes swept towards them. The two young policemen were immediately startled. If they still didn't understand what Madam meant, then they would have worn these clothes in vain. They immediately stepped forward and solemnly apologized to Song Yuanchao.
After the apology, Victoria asked Song Yuanchao whether he was satisfied with her subordinate's apology, and told Song Yuanchao that if he was not satisfied, he could directly file a complaint with their police station through the procedure, and the police station would have a special department to receive and handle the matter.
Of course Song Yuanchao would not do this. Not to mention that he did it on purpose, Victoria was there. He also knew the intention of Victoria's words. He immediately nodded to indicate that he accepted the police's apology and the matter ended there.
After thanking Song Yuanchao, Victoria scolded the two young policemen who were relieved, warning them that they must follow procedures at work and not let any personal factors get involved. This time Song Yuanchao let them off, but it would not be so easy if they met other people next time.
The two young policemen nodded yes repeatedly, and Victoria waved her hand and asked them to leave. The two young policemen saluted Victoria and then turned and left.
