The Heavens Start to Reverse Fate from Martial Arts

Chapter 21: A Well-Intentioned Calculation

Li Yuan thought of the dirty things that happened in the branch, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, saying: "The Hongmen is in serious internal strife and has lost its original intention. But fortunately, there are the rules and righteousness of the sect, and it can barely maintain internal stability. It is not much better than the White Lotus Sect."

Although the Hongmen is no longer a loose group, its various branches have long been doing their own things, and the orders issued by the headquarters are difficult to be truly implemented.

The Hongmen had long lost its enterprising spirit, and many of its senior officials were content with the status quo and did not want to make too many changes. Even he was no exception.

I said this because I don't want this kid to have too much hope, so that when the gap is too big he will have some bad thoughts.

Wang Yi raised his eyebrows and rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

There is something meaningful in what the old guy said.

Is this a preventive measure?
"Mr. Li wants to remind me that even if I join the Hongmen and want to develop, there will be many obstacles?"

"My friend is still young after all. No matter how calm you are, you can't avoid the mentality of a teenager. Having too high expectations is not a good thing. A big gap will easily lead to extreme thoughts."

"Huh? Mr. Li, you are worrying too much. I am not interested in fighting for power. Instead of having these extravagant hopes, it is better to manage your own piece of land well. This is the foundation of your life."

"Young man's ideas are better than those of many people who are eager for quick success and instant benefits. This is particularly rare." Old Li showed admiration on his face and praised sincerely.

"That's great, Mr. Li... Hmm? Interesting. Conflicts of interest are inevitable after all." Wang Yi sighed as he looked at the scene in front of the bulletin board as if he had expected it.

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan raised his head and looked towards the bulletin board in the distance. After seeing who was coming, an ambiguous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

……

"Make way, everyone, move aside."

"You bunch of ungrateful dwarf mules, get out of here."

"Get out of here, everyone. I'll wait until Brother Shen deals with this Limin Commercial Company, and then I'll have a good talk with you profit-seeking people."

……

More than thirty burly men holding long knives pushed the crowded crowd away violently.

"They are from the boat gang. These bastards came so quickly."

"Shh... You don't want to live anymore? Shut up! Wait and see how Limin Commercial Bank handles this."

"The boat gang is not easy to mess with. These bastards are notoriously cruel and merciless. We'd better retreat for the time being..."

"Back off? You don't want to join Limin Commercial Bank anymore? Maybe this is the only chance you have. If you miss it, won't you regret it for the rest of your life?"

"Regret is better than losing my life. I still have a wife and children to support. I can't take this risk. I'm leaving, leaving..."

……

The laborers around retreated in fear, and after they stood still, they immediately started talking in low voices.

Many of them turned and left with conflicted looks on their faces, and soon half of them left. The remaining people also looked very hesitant.

A tall and strong man with a face full of flesh and wearing an embroidered long gown came to the square table with steady steps. When he saw Shopkeeper Zhang, a look of fear flashed in his eyes.

He waved his hand to stop his men from attacking, and with both hands on the table, he said in a deep voice: "Mr. Zhang, I should not have offended Mr. Li, the old captain. Isn't your behavior too unethical?"

Zhang Shan's eyes flickered slightly, he stood up and bowed, smiling: "Deputy Gang Leader Shen has said too much. We are just recruiting some laborers for the company. This is not in line with the code of conduct in the underworld." Shen Xiong came quite quickly. It seems that the master has already planned everything.

Shen Xiong looked down at the contract document on the table, then looked up at the job posting on the notice board. After confirming that it was correct, his face suddenly darkened:

"Mr. Zhang, do you really think I'm a fool? If you do this, how will our boat gang function in the future?"

When he started listening to the reports from his men, he was still a little bit unbelieving. They were just a bunch of cheapskates. It was already a blessing to keep them fed and clothed. How could there be a fool who would really offer a high price to recruit them?

But the contract documents and announcements in front of us cannot deceive people. There really is such a fool, and this fool is the deputy leader of the Hongmen Guangdong branch.

"Are you questioning me?" Zhang Shan raised his eyes slightly, his eyes flashing with a sharp aura. He didn't take it seriously, just a small boat gang. He was polite just because he didn't want his plan to change. After today, the boat gang would no longer exist, so there was no need to argue with these dead people.

Shen Xiong's expression condensed, he took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, casually clasped his hands, and said in a deep voice:

"I just want to ask for an explanation. If Mr. Zhang doesn't want to give it to me, that's fine. Our leader will talk to Mr. Li. Bye."

He put down his hands, turned around and shouted in a low voice: "Let's go." He glanced fiercely at the laborers around him, and left with his men with a cold look.

He also wanted to be tough, but facing the deputy leader of the Hongmen branch, he really couldn't be tough, especially in Foshan.

However, today's matter is not over yet. It concerns the interests of the ship gang and the reputation of the gang. It is impossible to cover it up so easily.

Zhang Shan restrained his momentum, looked at Yan Zhendong whose muscles were tense, and chuckled, "Manager Yan, let's continue. The master will take care of the boat gang's affairs."

Yan Zhendong nodded with a frown on his face, forced a smile, clasped his fists and said loudly: "My fellow villagers, the problem has been solved, and we will continue to recruit workers."

The people around, seeing the boat gang being sent away so easily, immediately looked up to Limin Commercial Bank. The concerns in their hearts disappeared in an instant, and soon there was a commotion in front of the bulletin board again.

No one can resist money. In this era, many people are willing to sacrifice their lives for a living. Moreover, the scene just before their eyes gave these laborers a feeling that Limin Commercial Bank is very powerful.

……

Wang Yi retracted his gaze, turned his head to look at Li Yuan beside him, and said unhappily: "Mr. Li, this favor is sold by me, which makes me deeply admire it."

This old guy's calculations are so deep that it's hard to accept him.

He was also wondering why the old guy had to accompany him here in person this time. It seemed that this was all planned in advance.

Li Yuan smiled brightly and said without hesitation: "My friend is too smart. I had no choice but to do this. Please don't blame me."

Among several confrontations, he finally had the upper hand, and a sense of pride rose in his heart for no reason.

It's really not easy to take advantage of this guy.

Wang Yi smiled and shook his head. After a moment of hesitation, he slowly said, "Limin Commercial Bank has just started. Master Yan, an outsider, may not be able to control the overall situation. Can we ask Manager Li to come and help?"

This is considered to be agreeing to what the father and son asked for last time. Favors should be given and taken, and one-sided demands and giving are not acceptable.

"Okay! I will let my third son come tomorrow, and I hope you can teach him carefully." Li Yuan stood up and bowed, his expression looking extremely solemn.

"What is Mr. Li doing? I cannot bear the responsibility of teaching you. Don't worry, since I have taken on this responsibility, I will naturally do my best."

Wang Yi quickly dodged, a helpless look on his face, and had to make a solemn promise.

"Hahaha...that's enough. Whether you can gain anything depends entirely on your own luck." Li Yuan laughed heartily, and his laughter was particularly hearty.

"It's settled. It's getting late. I need to go back and strengthen my muscles. Mr. Li should also go back early. Ask Manager Li to hand over the matter and then come to the mansion to find me."

"Okay, little friend, take care. I have something to take care of, so I won't be traveling with you."

"Mr. Li is busy now. I will take my leave now."

Wang Yi bowed, glanced at the noisy crowd in the distance, retracted his gaze, and left slowly.

"Captain, should we drive away or... kill all the people in the boat gang?" After Wang Yi's figure disappeared, a strong man in tight clothes stepped forward, bowed and asked.

Li Yuan stood up and stretched his muscles, then said indifferently, "Kill them all... We shouldn't leave hidden dangers for young Wang. Things must have a beginning and an end. Let the people below take action."

As he spoke, he slowly walked towards the depths of the dock. As he walked, his back became straighter and straighter, and an imposing aura of deep and mighty mountains emanated from him.

"Yes." The burly man in tight clothes behind him clasped his fists, turned around and leaped out of the dock.

Behind him, six burly men in black clothes followed Li Yuan with steady steps, all exuding a sharp and murderous aura, and a strong murderous breath filled the air.
