Return to 88: Starting from Marrying My Sister-in-law

The young master of the Li family was publicly humiliated and made to look utterly pathetic; he would definitely not let it go so easily.

He did not lash out in public.

That doesn't mean they won't seek revenge later in private.

It is common knowledge that capitalists have just as much bloodshed as ruthless bandits, but they need to maintain a glamorous facade.

Therefore, everyone present had a premonition.

Tonight is unlikely to be peaceful.

Because if we just let it go like this, Li Zekai's reputation will be completely ruined, and anyone can step on him and stomp on him in the future.

To put it more seriously, it could even damage the reputation of the entire Li family, causing other wealthy families in Hong Kong to look down on them.

The clinking of glasses and deliberately hushed whispers lingered in the luxurious banquet hall. Lu Yang and his two companions walked through a forest of unreadable gazes and emerged from the central area illuminated by crystal chandeliers.

The scent of champagne bubbles in the air was replaced by a subtle, almost imperceptible chill.

"Come on."

Mu Qizhong urged in a low voice, his eyes scanning the surrounding magnificent colonnade for any possible hiding places, his palms sweating profusely.

It was indeed satisfying to have Xiao Jun throw that glass of wine, but just thinking about the price made his temples throb.

Something's definitely going to happen tonight.

Xiao Jun barely managed to maintain his upright posture, but the arm pressed against Lu Yang trembled slightly, betraying his true unease. He muttered to himself, "Damn it, that bastard won't send someone to kill me, will he?... Ouch, why is my leg still numb..."

He secretly rubbed his stiff thigh muscles.

I'm currently out of town and have just offended the local bigwig. I'm in a hurry, what should I do?

Lu Yang remained calm.

He has already made the phone call and arrangements.

Sir Michael watched them leave from afar, his face dark and inscrutable, his lips pressed tightly together. In the end, he simply sighed heavily, offering neither obstruction nor a word.

Xue Lai followed closely behind Lu Yang, and feeling the worried look in her uncle's eyes, she subconsciously shrank back behind her boss, Lu Yang.

As Xiao Jun stepped out of the banquet hall's heavy, carved doors, the cool mountain breeze of Victoria Peak suddenly rushed into his clothes, making him shiver and sober up a bit.

The carefully arranged light strips in the manor courtyard illuminated the distant harbor with shimmering light, beautiful as it was, yet seemingly concealing countless dark eyes.

He looked to Lu Yang for help.

Lu Yang shook his head. "Now is not the time to go down the mountain. From the mountainside to the summit of Taiping Mountain, it's a wealthy area, and I believe no one would dare to cause trouble. But if we leave now..."

The implication is that, given the darkness and the distance to the city center, it would be entirely normal for something to happen along the way.

Xiao Jun shrank back, clearly understanding the meaning behind Lu Yang's words.

Looking at the dark, winding road stretching down the mountainside.

He swallowed hard and said, "Maybe we shouldn't leave?"

Mu Qizhong snorted, "Not leaving? You kid, do you want to stay the night? That old foreigner didn't directly side with the Li family. He just called those security guards in black suits to teach us a lesson and throw us out. That was already more than enough. Do you expect him to stand up for you, a mainland kid he's only known for a few days, and go against the Li family?"

It's impossible even to think about.

Xiao Jun said dryly, "How will we know if we don't try? Where else can we go? It's so late, we can't just hide somewhere in the dark on this mountain, can we?"

This is even more unrealistic, and if word gets out, the three of them will completely embarrass mainland entrepreneurs.

Lu Yang shook his head. "It hasn't come to that yet. Forget it, come with me."

Saying...

He looked at the mixed-race girl who was silently following behind him, "Can I stay at the villa in Repulse Bay tonight? Do you have the key?"

The deposit for that villa has been paid and the contract has been signed; only the final transfer of ownership is pending.

However, with the Kadoorie family behind the Peninsula Hotel as a guarantor, checking in a few days in advance shouldn't be a big deal.

really……

Xue Lai's clear voice rang out behind the three of them, "I...I'll try."

She wasn't sure.

But the boss was confident that he wouldn't need to bring a key; he just needed to go and call out the butler who was still on duty at the villa.

I bet the other party will immediately open the villa gate and welcome the boss, who is about to become the new owner of the villa, inside.

Because others may not care, but the villa manager who is about to lose his job will definitely care.

But if he could please the new boss, he could stay if the new boss agreed.

Just as they were about to step onto the cobblestone path leading to the parking lot.

Li Zekai, who had arrived a step ahead of them and was already in the car, surrounded by several loyal followers, asked with a cold glint in his eyes, "Have you all seen clearly? Have they already gone down the mountain?"

"Not yet, they're coming this way... Don't worry, Brother Kai, our people are already in position."

There will always be some people who choose to place bets at this time.

After all, Li Zekai is backed by Li Ka-shing, the head of one of Hong Kong's four major families and the richest Chinese man in Asia.

Li Zekai's face was filled with hatred as he said in an icy voice, "Don't let your guard down. Keep a close eye on these people and report back immediately if you get any news."

He won't leave now.

Moreover, in order to create an alibi, they had to stay behind first, and even planned to make a brief appearance in the banquet hall later. Compared to losing face, revenge was more important.

"Yes, Brother Kai, but..."

The lackey hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

"But what?"

"They've already set off, but it doesn't seem like they're heading downhill. Something's not right... something's not right..."

After the henchmen discovered that Lu Yang and his group had entered the parking lot and gotten into their cars, the convoy set off, but instead of heading downhill, it drove uphill.

He immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

She rushed over to tell them, "Oh no, oh no! They went to the road in Repulse Bay. That road isn't the road down the mountain; it's the road leading to the Repulse Bay villas."

The roads on the mountain are winding, and almost every villa has a side road leading from the main road. By keeping a close eye on these intersections, one can find out the direction of the convoy. "Bang."

Li Zekai slammed his fist into the central control screen, his hands covered in blood.

"asshole!"

"Investigate this! How come a bunch of mainlanders, who have only been in Hong Kong for a few days, have found a place to stay in this upscale neighborhood on the mountaintop..."

His face was sinister, and even though his hand was bleeding from the broken center console glass, he didn't even flinch.

This proves that his heart is filled with hatred.

My mind can't hold anything else.

"Understood, Brother Kai. Don't worry, I'll follow them right away and find out what happened."

This lackey ran incredibly fast.

Meanwhile, another henchman whispered, "Brother Kai, I've called the men, but it's not a good idea for them to stay at the foot of the mountain and never come down. Besides, this is a wealthy area, and Brother Ma and his men wouldn't dare to come in. What should we do?"

They are the sons of businessmen, and it is already taboo for them to contact these thugs from the lower-class gangs. If they are allowed to roam around at the foot of Mount Tai Ping, a wealthy area, and the bigwigs living on the mountain find out that they were the ones instigating it, they will skin them alive.

Li Zekai was unwilling to offend so many Hong Kong tycoons at once.

Suppressing his displeasure, he said, "Tell them to return it first, and wait for my further notice. As for the activity expenses, you can still provide them; don't worry about spending money."

Those at the bottom of society will do anything to survive, so there's no reason for them to be stingy with this money.

Even if these people back down tonight, they'll still be useful tomorrow. It's just that these low-level gangsters in the rich neighborhood don't dare to come in, but what if it weren't in this rich neighborhood?
"Damn it!"

"Hmph, so arrogant, yet so cowardly. You have the guts to throw wine on my Li family, but you don't even have the ability to come down the mountain?"

“I’d like to see how long you can hide in the mountains.”

Li Zekai said in a sinister and cold tone.

He had already decided that there was no time like the present, and he couldn't rest until he resolved the matter and avenged the humiliation. So if the other party didn't dare to leave this wealthy area at night, he would have no choice but to have his men take action during the day, even if it intensified the hostility of the villagers towards the Li family and made headlines again.

His idea was good, but...

However, things may not turn out as he expected.

Just as he and his follower had agreed to avoid a collective boycott from the wealthy residents of this upscale neighborhood, they decided to first get the gangsters they had recruited to block the foot of the mountain to retreat.

As a result, at the foot of Victoria Peak, several cars of people drove in from another direction and silently surrounded the gangsters.

Half an hour later...

Throwing away the blood-stained baseball bat and removing the medical gloves used to prevent fingerprints, Gong Ping'an took out his phone and called Lu Yang, who was still on the mountain: "Boss, it's all taken care of."

At this moment, Lu Yang was taking a bath in his newly purchased villa in Repulse Bay.

He took the phone and laughed, "There really is someone here. Can you be sure they're here to ambush me?"

What if they call the wrong person? Oh well, if they call the wrong person, they call the wrong person.

Gong Ping'an said calmly, "The leader, Brother Ma, has confessed after his limbs were broken. A young master surnamed Liu promised him a bonus of 50 yuan to bring his men to teach a few bumpkins from the mainland a lesson. He will give him another 50 yuan after the job is done, and an additional 10 yuan for each leg he takes. Boss, you are not to be touched yet. Your two friends, especially President Xiao, are being asked to have all four of their limbs broken and to be humiliated in the most cruel way possible. As long as no one dies in the end, it is acceptable even if it drives your friends crazy."

It seems that the kid is really angry. All he got was a glass of red wine, but he's already threatening to break his hand and foot and drive him crazy. He's almost killed someone.

Lu Yang covered the phone and said to Xiao Jun, who was soaking in the pool next to him wearing only underwear, "Did you hear that? They're going to chop off your limbs. I'm not going to dismember your hands now. If you think that's enough, then forget it."

If he hadn't been worried that going down the mountain tonight would implicate his brother-in-law Xiao Jun, who was known for his ruthlessness and might take him down as well, he would never have brought his mole in Hong Kong, along with his generals Gong Ping'an and Da Jun.

Seeing the boy's gloomy face, full of anger, and with murderous intent in his eyes.

They probably haven't figured out how to retaliate yet.

Lu Yang nodded.

Then he said to Gong Ping'an on the phone, "You two shouldn't go up the mountain tonight either. Let's avoid suspicion. Take your men back first and clean up the mess. Tomorrow morning, you and Dajun will go up the mountain together."

Gong Ping'an nodded.

He's always been like this—taciturn and prefers to speak as little as possible. He was just about to hang up on his boss, Lu Yang.

"Wait a minute..."

A panting voice came running over, holding two cold objects that looked like fire pokers in the moonlight.

But this cold object caused Gong Ping'an's muscles to suddenly tense up and his hair to stand on end, as if he had sensed danger and instantly adopted an attack posture like a cheetah.

Only when he realized that the person running up panting was Dajun did he quietly lower his hand that had been reaching for his waist.

Dajun chuckled awkwardly, then waved the two shadowy, stick-like objects in his hands. "We have guns. Tell the boss quickly that these people's real purpose isn't just to teach the boss and his men a lesson. They might be here to kill someone. It's not that simple."

Da Jun paused for a moment, whispered a few words into the phone, then walked over to Ma Ge, whose limbs had been broken, kicked his body, and seeing that he could still groan, frowned and said, "Gag him, take him away, I'll interrogate him again when we get back."

Upon hearing this, Dajun immediately picked the man up and slung him over his shoulder like a sack.

Poor Brother Ma, all four of his limbs were broken, and the broken bones hadn't even been set yet. As the army moved around, his vertical limbs swayed from side to side. He was in so much pain that he was sweating profusely, his face was pale, and he fainted several times.

If it weren't for the stinky sock that was stuffed in his mouth, whose it must have been, his screams would have echoed for miles around.

Before the next day even arrived.

Only two hours had passed.

When Lu Yang finally heard that the thugs actually had real weapons, he was somewhat incredulous and decided to wait until Gong Ping'an finished interrogating them that night before telling him the truth.

"Boss, I've accomplished my mission. The results are in."

"What's the result?"

"The other party does want to kill you, boss, but not now. They want to kill three birds with one stone. First, they take the money from the person in charge, then they want to use this opportunity to kidnap you and your two friends to extort money from you. Finally, fearing that things will be exposed, they plan to kill you and your friends after they have finished extorting money."

"I see. Then let them go."

“We can’t let him go; he’s seen what Dajun and I really look like.”

“Aren’t you at sea? Release him, let him jump in and keep company with the fish in the sea. Whether he survives or not depends on his own fate.”

So that's how it's placed.

Gong Ping'an nodded coldly, as if he would never get the joke. After finishing the call, he turned to Da Jun beside him and said, "The boss's instructions, should you handle it, or should I?" (End of Chapter)
