Somewhere in Chinatown.
When Charlie and Stefanie arrived at Hogan’s roast goose restaurant, Hogan was busy cleaning up together with the guys.
Long after the noon meal, there was no customer in the restaurant and Stefanie did not worry about being recognized so she just put on a mask and then directly took Charlie into the restaurant. The two had just walked in the door, the door sensors sounded a ding, announcing the arrival of a guest, the busy man said without raising his head “Sorry, we have closed the Restaurant.”
Charlie smiled and said, “Feel free to get us something to eat, we both haven’t eaten until now.”
Hogan heard Charlie’s voice, turned his head and saw that he and Stefanie had come together, so he could not help but be happy and said with a smile, “Haven’t you two eaten yet?”
Stefanie took Charlie’s arm and said disdainfully, “We really haven’t Uncle Hogan!”
Charlie also smilingly said, “Uncle Hogan, we two went around to the Joules family at noon, originally we wanted to have a meal, but in the end, it did not work out.”
Stefanie mumbled in a discontented manner, “You had to let the Joules family drink and ended up getting drunk, so we were not in the mood to eat.”
Hogan heard this, said with a smile “Ouch, it seems that there is a bit of a story, you two hurry upstairs to sit, I will prepare some food for you two, later we can sit down and then talk.”
Charlie nodded and smiled and said, “Uncle, then we’ll go up and wait for you.”
Stefanie also smiled and said, “Uncle, I want to eat roasted squab, two of them!”
Hogan laughed and said, “Okay, you guys go upstairs first, I’ll go get them ready.”
Charlie and Stefanie went up the stairs together, but before they reached the second floor, they heard another ding from the door, followed by a somewhat familiar voice saying, “Boss, two.”
Charlie subconsciously stopped in his tracks, slightly crouched down a little, through the gap in the stairs, with a glance saw the two people who came in.
The one who spoke was his uncle, Desmond and the one standing beside his uncle was the famous detective Jack Li. However, today’s Jack Li is no longer the same as the last time Charlie saw him.
His whole appearance had changed.
He grew out a beard and looked scruffy and very unhinged.
Charlie hurriedly pulled Stefanie by her hand, so the two quickly went upstairs first. Stefanie just followed Charlie quietly sizing up the situation.
She also recognized Jack Li, but she did not know why Charlie seemed to deliberately avoid him.
Hurriedly she lowered her voice and asked “Charlie, you would not have left any clues by Inspector Li to grasp, right?”
Charlie waved his hand “I’m not avoiding him, I’m avoiding that person beside him.”
Stefanie hurriedly asked, “Who is that person?”
Charlie shrugged his shoulders and said lightly, “That person is my great uncle.”
“Huh?” Stefanie asked in surprise, “It’s your great uncle? Then aren’t we going to say hello?”
Charlie shook his head and said, “He doesn’t know my situation yet.”
Stefanie said in confusion, “Why? My father said your grandfather’s family is very eager to find your whereabouts.
If we can get reacquainted, is it not quite good?”
Charlie sighed lightly and spoke, “Forget it.”

On the other hand, when Hogan saw Desmond, he couldn’t help but say with some surprise, “Sir, you haven’t been here for a while.”
