Originally, it would be more appropriate to go to Bukit Pasoh Road for a meal, but Xian Yaowen had just come from there and didn’t want to force himself to revisit the old place, so he took people to turn into Pagoda Street to enjoy the unique scenery.

Pagoda Street is Guangheyuan Street. There is a night market at night, and the business during the day is mainly done by tailor shops. There are many tailor shops, but tailors do not dominate the GDP of this street. This street is also nicknamed Sparrow Street. Many shops will put a few card tables behind the house for nearby residents to entertain themselves, and they charge a fee of three or five cents.

Now that there are card tables, it is not surprising to have a few underground gambling dens. Many of the second and third floors of the shophouses along the street operate underground gambling dens, which also do loan shark business. The loan sharks here have inherited the tradition of the pig farms on this street. They like to do business with clients whose wives or daughters are slightly attractive, and they would rather the clients not pay them back.

There are bookstores and barbecued pork rice on Baota Street. Xian Yaowen took people to Shuji Barbecue Rice next to Tangji Bookstore, helped Xu Fangrong and the other two order delicious food, ordered drinks for himself and Li Yueru, and sat down to enjoy the scenery on the street.

The weather was hot and there were not many pedestrians on the street. The few people who were there were walking in a hurry. The air was filled with the aroma of vegetables. If you sniffed, you could tell that the source was the windows on the second floor. If you sniffed again, you could smell the strong aroma of roasted longevity paste. The source was the shops on the first floor. There were a few wisps of it wafting out from different shops.

Singapore has banned smoking and there are no more openly operating opium dens, but heavy smokers are still there. Not many people are taking the opportunity of the ban to quit smoking. Those who sell cigarettes are still selling them, and those who smoke are still smoking, but they have just moved from above ground to underground.

There is an alley on the right side of the bookstore. The smell of blood wafts over from there. With a little identification, you can tell that it is the smell of snake blood. There should be a snake restaurant in the alley.

Xian Yaowen looked left and right to kill time.

Suddenly, he felt a finger tapping on his thigh. He turned to look at Li Yueru, only to see her pointing to the left side of the street. He turned his head and saw several people holding knives of various colors crossing Baota Street, as if they were chasing someone.

When the person disappeared, he turned back and asked quietly, "What's wrong?"

Li Yueru also whispered, "There were three groups of people in total. The first group was fleeing for their lives and came from Tofu Street. The two groups behind were chasing them. The second group all wore yellow robes and looked like they were from Phoenix Mountain. Phoenix Mountain didn't have any territory in the past and specialized in the business of borrowing soldiers. They're still doing it now."

"What do you think?"

Tofu Street is the territory of Sanqieryi. If a gunfight breaks out on Tofu Street, it is unlikely that Sanqieryi will not be involved.

"It's possible that the 108th Army borrowed soldiers from Phoenix Mountain and raided the 3721st Army."

Xian Yaowen nodded slightly, agreeing with Li Yueru's guess, and also expressed his optimism for Chen Haiming. Chen Haiming knew the crux of the matter, knowing that apart from him, the biggest obstacle to taking over She Agui's shares was the 3721st. If the 3721st was not removed, the shares would not be stable even if he wanted to take over.

This was also what he wanted to see. By transferring the shares at a premium, he had given an explanation to the She family morally. However, he did not have time to wait for the She family members to show up one by one. He wanted to properly handle the issue of inheritance distribution, clear himself of his responsibilities, and hand over the inheritance to Xu Fangrong as soon as possible.

But after the handover, when other people from the She family show up, there will naturally be disputes. It doesn't matter if you just talk, you can let Li Yueru play along slowly, but I'm just afraid that someone will stand up and cause trouble.

If you take his words out of context, and only say that She Agui died because of him, without tracing it back to Lu Yuepeng, then logically speaking, he has the obligation to take care of She Agui's family. If you don't make sense, he is the enemy who killed She Agui, and it is reasonable to seek revenge from him for his father's death.

If some ambitious person gets involved, it's hard to say how things will develop. He might have to go out and kill Sanqieryi himself. Fighting and killing is boring. Doing it more times means one more handle. It would be better to have someone to eliminate the hidden danger on your behalf.

I just don't know whether it was Chen Haiming's own idea or Kane's instigation. If it was the latter, he probably didn't just want to get some shares from him, but also wanted to take over his connections.

If it is the former, Chen Haiming's mind is not simple.

If both of them have the same idea, it would be interesting.

Tofu Street.

On the third floor of a shophouse, Chen Haiming stood at the window and looked at the Sanqieryi Hall across the street.

"A Pao, the majority of the troops have already left, and there are only a few people left in the hall. Let Tie Chi do it."

Che Dapao, Chen Haiming's trusted subordinate.

He stood beside Chen Haiming and said, "Let the trooper take the people there?"

Chen Haiming said with a sullen face, "The commotion was too big. We need to give the red-haired devil an explanation. Let Pijiaotou take the blame. He will be in jail for a few years and then he can be released. I will help him get promoted."

"Yes, Master Hai."

Che Dapao nodded and quickly turned around and went downstairs. He came to the stairs on the second floor, glanced at Pijiaotou, then leaned close to Tiechi and whispered in his ear: "Master Hai said to proceed as planned."

Hearing this, Tiechi's eyes flashed with pity, and he shouted loudly: "Brother Pao, two died, six or seven were seriously injured, and the soldiers can't bear it."

"Iron Teeth, what are you doing?" Che Dapao said with a gloomy face, "The life and death lot has been drawn, and the resettlement allowance has been received. Now you say you can't afford it? Pijiaotou can't afford it, so will you or I carry it?"

"Change someone else..."

"Brother Tiechi." Without waiting for Tiechi to say anything, he stood out with his bare feet and said heroically, "Brother Tiechi, I have already received the resettlement fee and have spent it. I will handle any problems by myself."

"Punch..."

"Good! Good job, Pijiaotou." Che Dapao interrupted Tiechi and walked to Pijiaotou's side. He raised his right hand and patted Pijiaotou's shoulder heavily. "Hai Ye said that you will stay in there for a few years, and when you get out, he will promote you to a higher position. Don't worry about your family. Hai Ye will take care of your sister."

"Brother Pao, I'll leave my sister in my care. Brother Tiechi, take care."

As soon as Pijiaotou finished speaking, he lifted his clothes, pulled out a machete from his waist, held it in his hand, went down to the stairs at the corner of the first floor, raised the machete, and said to the waiting brothers, "Brothers, follow me."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone raised their machetes and rushed towards the hall opposite.

"what?"

Xian Yaowen looked at the entrance of the alley in surprise. The group of people who had disappeared just now appeared again, retreating backwards, taking a few steps, then rushing forward with their knives raised, and disappeared from his sight.

Then, a few seconds later, he reappeared, this time not walking backwards, but running forward. He quickly looked towards the end of the alley, only to see a few blades appear first, followed by an arm holding a knife, and a complete person.

The feelings were brought back by someone else.

The blades collided and separated as soon as they touched. There was no rhythmic clang, clang, clang, and no sparks or lightning. The winner was determined after just one collision. The next time the blade with the higher skill chopped down, it would hit the flesh and bones, causing blood to spurt out at the least and an arm to be broken at the worst.

Everyone was holding a straight-bladed, thick-backed machete, which was intended to be used to chop the intertwined branches and leaves between the rows of pineapples in the pineapple field when the pineapples were about to mature. It had to be heavy and sharp enough to break an arm.

As blood splattered everywhere, Xian Yaowen still had the leisure to compare the combat effectiveness of Singapore's secret societies and Hong Kong's social groups. His initial conclusion was that Singapore was slightly stronger and their attacks were more ruthless than those in Hong Kong, with every strike being fatal.

"Tsk, it's brutal, but it's not pretty. It's such a big scene, and it hasn't even been half a minute, but it looks like the winner is about to be decided. Movies don't dare to be shot like this, every movie they make will lose money."

Staring at an arm falling to the ground, Xian Yaowen was thinking about how to make the arm fall more impactful on camera. After thinking of two or three plans, he gave up the idea.

It's useless to think about it. The film censorship in every country is strict nowadays. Bloody scenes have no chance of passing the censorship. The violent aesthetics can't be achieved for the time being. But you can think about the beggar version of bullet time. You can dodge the high-speed bullet by twisting your waist. If such a shot can be developed, it can hit the box office of tens of millions of dollars.

It’s just that how to combine fast motion and slow motion into a single copy requires either launching a digital revolution or using machinery and special effects to the extreme, which is not easy at all.

The former seems to be able to do nothing but watch helplessly, while the latter needs to spend a lot of money. It is a mystery whether it can produce results. It is not advisable to spend all the money, and you have to find a big brother on the list.

While Xian Yaowen was thinking, Xu Fangrong and the other two had already put down their spoons. Xu Fangrong and Xu Shaoyu looked at each other, and then Xu Fangrong said, "Mr. Xian."

Xian Yaowen turned around and looked at Xu Fangrong.

Xu Fangrong blinked his dry eyes and said, "Mr. Xian, I heard from the host that my master should not stay in the Great Narrowness Hall for too long, otherwise, otherwise..."

Tears welled up in Xu Fangrong's eyes. "My master has always been respectable. I don't want him to look ugly when he goes up the mountain. The day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow... wuwuwu..."

"Sister-in-law, don't be too sad. It's really not appropriate for Mr. She to stay in the funeral home. The day after tomorrow is a suitable day for the funeral, so let's schedule it for the day after tomorrow. I don't know what the customs are in Mr. She's hometown in Tangshan. You can set the rules, and I'll do the shopping and running errands."

"Why should I trouble you, Mr. Xian? Let my elder brother take care of the chores." As she said that, Xu Fangrong looked at Xu Shaoyu.

Xu Shaoyu responded, "Mr. Xian, I will take care of all the trivial matters."

"That's fine. I don't know the rules and it's easy to make mistakes." Xian Yaowen took out a white envelope from his pocket and put it directly into Xu Fangrong's palm. "Sister-in-law, this is a little gift from me. Although time is tight, you should give it all you need. You can't let Mr. She go too lonely."

This money was for She Agui's business, so Xu Fangrong couldn't refuse it. She gave up the politeness and accepted it directly with a smile, "Mr. Xian, thank you very much. I won't let my master leave in solitude."

After chatting for a few more sentences, the arrangements for She Agui's funeral were decided. The funeral would be held tomorrow, and he would go to the mountain the day after tomorrow. Xian Yaowen had paid for it, so there was nothing for him to do. Let the Xu brothers and sisters deal with it. This would also give the two of them space and time to discuss how to get him to hand over the money in the bank.

Five o'clock in the evening.

Qi Longque drove Xian Yaowen to Narcissus Manor. Xie Huiran drove a car alone and brought a trunk full of weapons.

Narcissus was in the kitchen, busy in front of the kerosene stove with a spatula.

Xian Yaowen came behind her and hugged her waist, "I smell the fragrance, what are you cooking?"

Narcissus turned her head to the side and said, "Look for yourself."

Xian Yaowen rested his chin on Narcissus's small shoulder, lowered his eyebrows and saw the green paste in the pot, and the chopped chicken breast on the chopping board, and instantly realized that Narcissus was making a national defense dish.

He chuckled and said, "You don't need to draw Tai Chi later. Draw two circles and put a dot in the middle."

Narcissus chuckled and said, "Master, be serious."

"I can't be serious. I chatted with Li Yueru for a long time today and we actually talked about having children. She might be interested in having a child with me."

Narcissus turned around suddenly and asked, "Giving birth to a child?"

"Ah."

"Is it giving birth to a baby or having sex?"

"How can you have a baby without having sex?"

Narcissus said coquettishly: "You know what I mean."

"Go to bed first, and talk about the child later."

"Master, do you like her?"

"it's OK."

"She is very important to the master?"

"Once She Agui dies, the strategy of playing checks and balances between her and She Agui will be scrapped. I don't have much time to slowly subdue her, so I have to make a quick move."

Narcissus reached out and touched Xian Yaowen's face, "Master, no woman can resist your charm. I have long guessed that you and Li Yueru will have such a day."

Xian Yaowen laughed, "One trick is enough to conquer the world. I am still not diligent enough. I am too lazy to use new tricks and keep using the same old tricks over and over again."

"Master is not lazy, he is enjoying it." Narcissus said sadly: "If I hadn't given Master a clean body and had no basis to complain, I would have made trouble with Master."

"You." Xian Yaowen gently rubbed Narcissus's belly, "Here you go again. You are my wife, and you have every right to make a scene. If you want to make a scene, just make a scene. If you have grievances, let them out. Don't keep them in your heart."

Narcissus shook her head and said, "I won't make a fuss. I don't want to waste my time."

Xian Yaowen hugged Narcissus tightly, "You are so rational, it makes me feel distressed. Do you regret jumping into the fire pit?"

Narcissus shook her head again, "I don't regret it, Master. You are very good. If I were to choose again, I would still choose you. It's just that I want too much, and I have ideas that I shouldn't have and am not qualified to raise."

"I'm sorry, it's my fault. I'm too self-centered and selfish. I know what you want, but I won't give it to you."

Narcissus turned around and kissed Xian Yaowen on the cheek a few times, "Master, don't say that, you are very good, really very good, I should be satisfied, it's my fault." (End of this chapter)
