Chapter 458 Helping someone get on their feet and seeing them off for a while

Li Fu looked at Xiao Qi with amusement:

"What kind of organization is the Righteous Group? What kind of magnanimity did Cao Cao possess? How could he have produced such a narrow-minded person as you?"

"What do you think I kept you here for?"

"Was I deliberately trying to trick you?"

“I am a member of Hung Hing, not one of your Yi Kwan.”

"Even if Li Sheng wants to eliminate dissidents after he comes to power, that's not something I'll do."

Xiao Qi was speechless for a moment.

Li Xiu said unhappily:
"I will not eliminate dissidents."

Li Fu looked at him seriously and said:

"A new emperor brings a new court; you need to take control of your task force as soon as possible."

“You used to be a lone wolf, and no one said anything when you went it alone.”

“The entire Yiqun family depends on you for their livelihood. If you don’t have your own strength, you’ll be killed in no time.”

Li Xiu remained silent.

Li Fu turned to look at Xiao Qi:

"My boss taught me something: when you're out in the game, you have to admit your mistakes and stand up straight when you get beaten."

"It is a fact that Cao Cao was murdered under your protection."

"Instead of thinking about how to avenge Cao Cao, you are single-mindedly disobeying Cao Cao's orders."

“Even I, an outsider to Hung Hing, am wondering if you colluded with Cao Gong’s driver, Ah Biao, to do such a big thing.”

Xiao Qi felt a chill travel from the Yongquan point (Kidney 1) straight to the top of his head:

"Don't frame me!"

Li Fu snorted coldly:
Did I frame you?

"Was it you who protected Cao Cao that night?"

"Was it you who vied for the throne after Cao Cao's death?"

"Is it you who is not investigating the cause of Cao Cao's death?"

Xiao Qi was speechless.

He himself even suspected that he might be the murderer of Cao Cao.

Li Xiu sighed:

"Mr. Li, Xiao Qi is just a child, don't tease him."

"He couldn't have killed Cao Cao."

Li Fu said coldly:
Is he a little kid?

"They're jumping around so happily!"

Xiao Qi was speechless for a long while, then gritted his teeth and said:
“I admit what I did, I will make up for the mistakes I made, and I will definitely catch the murderer and avenge Cao Gong.”

"You don't need to insult me."

Li Fu was speechless.
What do you think I'm keeping you here for?

Xiao Qi was stunned:

Do you know who killed Cao Cao?

Li Xiu suddenly leaped up:

"Li Sheng, who murdered Lord Cao?"

Li Fu said calmly:
"Cao Cao has been kind to my Hung Hing, and the principle of Hung Hing has always been to repay even the smallest kindness with the greatest gratitude."

"We could never repay Cao Cao's kindness while he was alive, so we have no choice but to repay it to you."

"It seems that the matter of avenging Lord Cao is almost settled."

Li Xiu said earnestly:
“If Hung Hing can truly help Cao Cao avenge his death, then my Yi Qun owes Hung Hing a favor.”

Li Fu gave him a deep look:
"I believe you!"

Xiao Qi waited for the two big shots to finish speaking, then impatiently said:

Who was the murderer of Cao Cao?

Li Fu asked:

"What do you think?"

Xiao Qi frowned and said:
"I don't know who the murderer is, but it must be Cao Gong's driver, A Biao, who was bribed."

“I discussed it with Brother Tai. The murderer’s plan was so meticulous that he must have obtained Cao Gong’s itinerary.”

"When a big boss like Cao Cao travels, his itinerary is often kept secret."

"The people who knew Cao Cao's itinerary were most likely among the crowd who accompanied him to the theater that day."

"That means there's a mole inside!"

Li Fu nodded slightly:

"Not too stupid!"

Xiao Qi was furious:
“I respect you as a confidant of Hung Hing Lam Sang, but you cannot insult me ​​again and again.”

"If you keep saying that, we've already fought."

Luo Tianhong was eager to try:
"You want to challenge Brother Fu? Then let's have a match between the two of us first."

Wang Jianjun was speechless.

"Tianhong, don't be ridiculous."

Luo Tianhong shrugged.

Xiao Qi looked dejected.

Yi Qun was very well-informed; Luo Tianhong had made a name for himself in the martial arts world.

Luo Tianhong, the Eight-Sided Swordsman, was not someone he could challenge.

Li Fu looked at Xiao Qi with amusement:

"Am I insulting you?"

"I'm putting you on the right path."

"You really don't know what's good for you."

Xiao Qi became increasingly angry.

Li Fu asked:

"Now that Cao Cao's will has been announced, the new leader of the Righteous Group is Li Xiu and Li Sheng."

Do you agree with what he said?

Xiao Qi looked extremely unwilling.

Li Xiu was speechless.

Ma Wu quickly said:
"Xiao Qi, Ashu is the leader."

Xiao Qi said reluctantly:
"I think!"

Li Fu was very disappointed:

"You still say you're not stupid?"

"You don't even know who made you who you are, yet you dare to stubbornly complain!"

"You think Chen Tai is the one who made you successful?"

"wrong!"

"What made you successful was the great platform that is Cao Cao, Ma Ying-jeou, and Yi Qun!"

"Instead of Chen Tai."

"If it weren't for Yiqun, do you think you would have the status you have now?"

"Those who are out in the game must be loyal to their friends."

"But the object of your loyalty is optional."

Is it a company or an individual?

Xiao Qi remained silent.

Li Fu said solemnly:
"You must be loyal to the company."

"That is, they are loyal to Li Xiu, who is the leader of the Yiqun."

Xiao Qi pouted.

Luo Tianhong also pursed her lips.

Clearly, neither of them was convinced.

Li Fu himself knew that what he was saying was nonsense, but under the current circumstances, he had to say it.

"Keeping you here is to give you a choice."

"Loyalty to Cao Cao or loyalty to an individual?"

Xiao Qi immediately said:
"I am absolutely loyal to Lord Cao."

Since Cao Ya is already dead, when else should we say nice things if not now?
Li Fu nodded slightly:

"Finally, Cao Cao is here."

"Master Ma, you can take it out now."

Li Xiu and Xiao Qi both looked at Ma Wu.

"Master Ma, what is that?"

Ma Wu said sadly:
"Cao Cao was harmed by his own people."

Li Xiu and Xiao Qi asked in unison:
"who is it?"

Ma Wu gave the two a stack of photos:
"See for yourselves!"

Li Xiu kept flipping through the photos, his eyes suddenly widening.

Xiao Qi kept flipping through the photos, and exclaimed:

"impossible!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

Ma Gong sighed:

"It seems you are all very familiar with the address in the photo."

"That way, I don't need to say anything more."

Xiao Qi murmured:
"It couldn't have been Tai-ge who did it, absolutely not!"

"Is this photo of yours a hoax?"

Ma Wu angrily said:

"Xiao Qi, look closely, this is a photo from last night!"

"A Biao has disappeared since Cao Gong's incident."

"Everyone knows that wherever Ah Biao is, that's where the murderer is!"

"Anyone with a brain understands this."

Xiao Qi collapsed to the ground in a moment of despair.

"impossible."

"Tai also told me that Ah Biao was the murderer and that I should not leave any survivors if I saw him."

Li Fu said without any mercy:
"That's why I say you're stupid."

"I was being used without even realizing it."

He thought he was the most loyal and righteous person in the world, but he wasn't even a confidant of Chen Tai.

"He jumped around trying to stand up for Chen Tai, but in the end, he wasn't even one of Chen Tai's confidants."

These words broke Xiao Qi's defenses, and he shouted:
"Brother Tai trusts me."

Li Fu mocked:
"He didn't even tell you about such a big thing as murdering Cao Cao. What a trusted confidant he is."

Xiao Qi could no longer hold back and suddenly lunged at Li Fu.

Luo Tianhong stepped forward and intercepted Xiao Qi, and the two began to fight.

Ma Wu smiled wryly:
“Mr. Li, you are customers of Hung Hing…”

Li Fuyang said in a loud voice:
"Tianhong, make sure this guy is sober up. Don't go too far. We'll have to make him do things later."

Luo Tianhong shouted:

"Don't worry, Brother Fu, I know what I'm doing."

Li Xiu ignored the fight between Luo Tianhong and Xiao Qi; his eyes were bloodshot.

"It was Chen Tai who did it?"

"I need to clean house."

Li Fu said earnestly:
"Chen Tai needs to be dealt with. Do you have connections?"

Li Xiu gritted his teeth and said:
"Even if it's just myself, I must avenge my adoptive father."

Li Fu gently patted Li Xiu on the shoulder:

"Brother Feng sent the three of us over here to help you."

One should see things through to the end, even if it means going to the very end.

Lin Feng never does anything that adds to the already good things; the cost-benefit ratio is too low.

He doesn't mind doing more to help those in need.

Li Fu pointed at Xiao Qi and said:
"Revenge is a must, but there's a trick to it."

"Chen Tai has always been in charge of the action team." "Most of the people in the action team obey Chen Tai's orders."

"To be honest, Chen Tai did a pretty good job and won over most people's hearts."

Even someone as loyal and righteous as Xiao Qi was speaking well of Chen Tai.

"Unfortunately, no matter how well Chen Tai does, he can't hide it from those who are interested."

"Cao Gong and Ma Gong never thought of passing the leadership of the Yiqun to Chen Tai."

"It's because he's a hypocrite."

"Those of us who are out in the world can be fake, can be real, can be reckless, but we can't be hypocritical."

"We wouldn't dare associate with someone like Chen Tai."

"Of course, your situation might be worse."

"If you fight him alone, you'll be the one who suffers in the end."

Li Xiu fell silent.

Li Fu then said:

“You can still be a lone wolf as before, except that Cao Cao and Ma Chao have entrusted the Yi Qun to you, and it’s fine if you die.”

"Yi Qun is going to change his surname."

"You wouldn't want the person who killed Cao Cao to sit in the high position of leader, would you?"

Li Xiu nodded slowly:

"Even if I die, I cannot let Atai's conspiracy succeed."

Li Fu shrugged:

"It seems we've reached an agreement."

He turned his head and said,

"Tianhong, is Xiao Qi awake yet?"

Luo Tianhong grinned and said:
"He is now awake."

Li Xiu quickly looked over and saw Xiao Qi lying on the ground with lifeless eyes, looking like he had been badly hurt by Luo Tianhong.

Little Blue Hair mocked:

"With skills like yours, you actually dare to challenge Brother Fu? You have no self-awareness at all."

"No wonder you were completely fooled!"

Xiao Qi was powerless to refute.

Li Fu chuckled lightly:
"Young people are always arrogant and think they are invincible."

"Tianhong, he looks just like you back then!"

Luo Tianhong jumped up and said:

"I'm definitely not as stupid as him."

Li Fu and Wang Jianjun burst into laughter.

Luo Tianhong shouted:

"I challenge you all."

Wang Jianjun sneered:

"This guy who goes seven times a night every day wants to challenge us?"

Ma Wu exclaimed in disbelief:
"Seven times a night?"

"Tianhong is amazing."

Luo Tianhong was beaming with pride:
"Just average."

Li Fu sighed, wondering what kind of team he had led.

He stepped forward and nudged Xiao Qi, who was still lying on the ground, with his toe:

Are you awake?

"Stop playing dead, Tianhong knows how to control his strength."

Xiao Qi got up and gritted his teeth, saying:

“I will avenge Cao Cao’s death. I will make Tai…Atai come to justice.”

Li Fu snorted coldly:
"With your stupid face that can't hide anything, I know exactly what you're going to do next."

Xiao Qi angrily said:

"You know again?"

Li Fu said calmly:
"You keep saying here that you want to kill Chen Tai to avenge Cao Cao."

“But I bet everyone here that once this guy gets to Chen Tai’s villa, he’ll definitely pull out the photos and confront Chen Tai.”

"I've already thought of all my lines..."

"Brother Tai, tell me, was someone framed? Was someone blackmailing you... or something like that?"

Xiao Qi stared at Li Fu with his mouth agape, as if he had seen a ghost.

Luo Tianhong stared at him as if she had seen a ghost:
"You really intend to do this?"

"Please, it's Cao Cao and Ma Chao who appreciate you, never Chen Tai."

Xiao Qi angrily said:

"Brother Tai appreciates me."

Luo Tianhong said without any mercy:

"Are you stupid? If he really appreciated you, would he not have told you something this important?"

"They're obviously using you."

Xiao Qi was speechless.

Li Fu said calmly:
"If you really do that, then I have nothing to say except to call you a hopeless idiot."

Xiao Qi remained silent.

Li Fu said softly:
"Chen Tai must be eliminated; this is Hung Hing's promise to Cao Gong."

"But there needs to be a way to remove it."

Xiao Qi sighed:

"Are you going to hold a martial arts tournament?"

Li Fu shook his head:
"This is Yiqun's family matter, why are you doing this?"

"They say you shouldn't wash your dirty linen in public. It's already wrong of Hung Hing to know about this. Do you really want to make it known to the whole underworld?"

Xiao Qi remained silent.

Li Xiu asked:

"Mr. Li, do you have any good suggestions?"

Li Fu said calmly:
"A person who is capable of committing patricide must be unwilling to accept defeat."

"Chen Tai knew that Cao Cao would not choose him as his successor, which is why he chose to strike suddenly."

"The reason is that when Ma Gong announces his will, someone will cause trouble."

"Only in this way can Chen Tai take over as the leader of Yiqun."

Xiao Qi found it quite absurd:

"Who would disobey Cao Cao's will?"

He was taken aback, as if he himself wasn't listening!

Li Fu said calmly:
"Chen Tai did not expect that Hung Hing would come to observe the ceremony, so this plan can't be implemented."

"He must have another plan."

Xiao Qi frowned and said:
"what's the plan?"

Li Fu did not hide anything:

"Now everyone knows that Cao Gong's driver, A Biao, must have been bribed."

"He has now vanished without a trace."

"Then Chen Tai will definitely make a fuss about this."

Xiao Qi didn't understand at all:
"Ah Biao is at Ah Tai's house, what tricks could he possibly play?"

Li Fu sighed:

"From now on, you just need to obediently follow the orders of Li Sheng and Ma Gong. You don't need to use your brain for anything."

Xiao Qi retorted, unconvinced:

"So what tricks do you think he can pull?"
Li Fuhao laughed and said:
Are you dissatisfied?

Xiao Qi was naturally unconvinced, but he was terrified of Luo Tianhong, so he changed the subject and said:

"You're always giving advice and pointing fingers, you must be very knowledgeable. I'd like to see it for myself."

Li Fu shrugged:

"Then I'll let you see it for yourself."

Xiao Qi was extremely unconvinced; he didn't believe Li Fu could offer any insights that would convince him.

Li Fu said calmly:
"Chen Tai desperately wants to become the leader of Yi Qun. It's his obsession. He will definitely not be willing to let the position fall into other hands, and he will definitely cause trouble."

Xiao Qi couldn't help but say:

"Brother Xiu has Cao Cao's will as proof; he can't turn the tables."

Li Fu nodded:
"That's normally the case."

Xiao Qi frowned and said:
"Normally?"

Li Fu explained:
“Normally, the previous leader appoints the next leader, which is the only way to ensure legality.”

"It won't cause any unrest within the organization."

"However, Cao Cao was different; he was murdered."

"The murderer is still at large."

"This gave Chen Tai the opportunity to act."

"This gives him the potential to bring Li Sheng down."

Xiao Qi shook his head:
"impossible!"

Li Fu plays with flavor:
"Is it really impossible?"

Xiao Qi asked:

"If you were Chen Tai, what could you do?"

Li Fu casually said:
"The simplest point is that Chen Tai threw out a recording."

Xiao Qi asked, puzzled:
"What recording could bring Brother Xiu down?"

Li Fu smiled and said:

"A recording of Chen Tai and A Biao."

"For example, during the phone call, A Biao told him that Cao Gong was killed by Li Sheng, and that A Biao was only forced to flee."

"Now he doesn't want to run away anymore, he wants to come back, so he called Chen Tai for help!"

Xiao Qi was dumbfounded.

Li Fu gently patted his shoulder and said:
“Look, Cao Gong’s body is still warm. It is the duty of the entire Righteous Group to avenge him, and it is also a good opportunity for Li Sheng to establish his authority.”

"From both a moral and logical standpoint, Li Sheng should avenge Cao Gong, right?"

Xiao Qi nodded.

Needless to say.

In terms of public affairs, Cao Ya was the previous leader of the Yiqun. He was killed, and he was bound to seek revenge, otherwise the Yiqun's reputation would be tarnished.

Personally, Cao Ya was Li Xiu's adoptive father, and even if it was just to fulfill his filial duty, Li Xiu had to kill the murderer who killed Cao Ya.

"But if Chen Tao were to release such a cassette tape, wouldn't Li Sheng's position as the leader be in jeopardy?"

"If anyone proves that this is indeed Ah Biao's voice, not only will Li Sheng lose his position as the leader of Yiqun, but he will also be labeled as disloyal and unfilial."

"His reputation will be ruined."

"Am I right?"

Xiao Qi is numb.

If he hadn't seen that stack of photos, he really couldn't have imagined how Li Xiu could turn the tables.

Now, he had to admit that Li Fu was far more capable than him.

The kind that is sincerely convinced.

Li Xiu asked sincerely:

"Mr. Li, what should I do?"

Li Fu looked at Ma Wu:

"Master Ma, I am a guest. Is it convenient for you to speak?"

Ma Wu quickly replied:
"We are completely at a loss right now, so please excuse us and speak freely."

The seasoned veterans see this best: the current Yiqun group can't withstand any more turmoil.

When Cao Ya was around, things were alright; he was able to intimidate the martial arts world with his prestige.

With Cao Ya's death, the Yiqun group's fortunes declined rapidly.

Conversely, they needed the protection of Hung Hing to overcome this difficulty.

Hung Hing is truly a good friend; they're trying to help Li Xiu get on his feet and give him a final push!
