Eight years have passed, he's still going strong, but his girlfriend is having a mental breakdo

Song Yanxi is quite useful.

But Song Yanxi is a girl, so there are some things that are inconvenient for her.

Besides, Song Yanxi is Zhao Hongan's woman.

Protecting Li Zimeng and Liu Yuhan is fine, but why should they always act as thugs?

Zhao Hongan felt that he still needed some henchmen around him.

Li Xiaofei's arrival is perfectly timed.

Moreover, Li Xiaofei's favorability towards him is 50 points, so there's no need to worry about betrayal; he is indeed a very good candidate.

【Ding. 】

[The target foe has been detected as actively seeking refuge. The host has shown interest, resulting in quantum entanglement and binding the target foe.]

[Target: Li Xiaofei.]

[Skilled in hand-to-hand combat and driving.]

[Current loyalty to host: 50.]

[Tip: Gifting a hero to a bound target will grant a tenfold return, with a chance to trigger a critical hit.]

[Note: Reaching a favorability rating of 90 signifies acceptance of your affections and grants a special reward.]

Target horse?

The favorability rating has been converted into loyalty.

Is this even possible?

Zhao Hong was overjoyed.

He had originally planned to recruit Li Xiaofei, and Brother Tongzi's move was the icing on the cake.

Zhao Hongan stood up and walked over to Li Xiaofei.

Li Xiaofei knelt on the ground, looking nervous.

This concerns his future.

If Zhao Hongan is willing to take him in, he will have a new backer in Jiangcheng and won't have to run away anymore.

If Zhao Hong'an refuses to take him in, he will face the pursuit and retaliation of Brother Sheng and President Xu, and he will have no place to stand in the country.

Li Xiaofei knelt on the ground.

Zhao Hongan stood in front of him.

Li Xiaofei looked up and felt that Zhao Hongan's figure was exceptionally tall and imposing.

Zhao Hong'an never showed his emotions, making it impossible for Li Xiaofei to figure out his thoughts.

"First you betrayed Xu Bo, then you betrayed Su Mingsheng... You're practically Lu Bu of the Porcelain Capital! You've come to me now, when are you planning to betray me?"

Zhao Hongan asked a question in return.

He has decided to take Li Xiaofei in, but he needs to give him a warning beforehand.

Li Xiaofei currently has no problem with his goodwill; this person has experience in the underworld and is capable of getting things done.

But he betrayed his elder brother twice...

This is a stain.

If Zhao Hong'an hadn't relied on his brother, the "system leader," to see Li Xiaofei's character panel and constantly monitor Li Xiaofei's loyalty to him...

Zhao Hongan dared not accept Li Xiaofei.

Li Xiaofei was stunned for a moment, and the next moment, cold sweat immediately broke out all over his body.

There are quite a few memes about Fengxian online.

"I wouldn't dare, Uncle Zhao."

"You are a master of ancient martial arts who descended from the mountain. How could I dare to betray you? Unless I don't want to live anymore."

"I can't do anything about what Mr. Xu and Brother Sheng are doing. Mr. Xu treats us like dirt, assigning us all the dirty work, and if anything goes wrong, he makes us take the blame."

"I have two brothers who worked for Boss Xu. After they took the blame, they disappeared without a trace. Boss Xu said they fled to Southeast Asia, but if those two brothers were alive, they would definitely contact me."

"We're usually very cautious. But this time in the porcelain capital, we met this lady..."

Li Xiaofei explained in a flurry, glancing up at Song Yanxi with a wronged expression.

"I messed things up. Knowing Mr. Xu's temper, I'm definitely doomed."

"I'm just trying to survive..."

"The first thing I encountered when I arrived at Brother Sheng's place was you."

Li Xiaofei was really about to cry.

"Uncle Zhao, I'm not Li Fengxian. I'm a man of honor."

"But my brothers are all dead. And my eldest brother is inhuman..."

Zhao Hongan watched Li Xiaofei quietly, letting him finish speaking.

Li Xiaofei swallowed.

The room had air conditioning, but he was soaked in sweat.

Finally, a hand reached out and wrapped around Li Xiaofei's arm.

Get up.

Zhao Hong'an's aged voice finally rang out.

Li Xiaofei wanted to continue kneeling to show his sincerity, but he only felt a tremendous force coming from that hand, and his body was lifted up like a straw.

Li Xiaofei had witnessed Zhao Hongan's methods before, but experiencing them firsthand still left him in awe.

Zhao Hong'an only used one hand, it looked so easy... how could he have such great strength?

"Follow me from now on, and I guarantee you wealth and honor. But no matter what, if you betray me, the consequences will be severe."

Zhao Hongan spoke in a flat tone.

Li Xiaofei realized what was happening and was overjoyed.

Uncle Zhao has agreed to take him in.

"Thank you, Uncle Zhao!"

"Uncle Zhao, rest assured, I will serve you wholeheartedly and would never dare to betray you!"

Li Xiaofei immediately expressed his opinion.

"You haven't been in Jiangcheng long, have you? Where are you staying now?" Zhao Hongan asked.

"Yes, I just arrived recently, and I'm sharing an apartment with a few thugs from the Qiangsheng Group," Li Xiaofei said.

"I'll give you some money to settle down. Rent an apartment near Yunding No. 1 Courtyard so I can call you if I need anything."

As Zhao Hongan spoke, he took out his phone.

Liu Yuhan and Song Yanxi were both invigorated.

Grandpa Zhao is about to start delivering goods.

Li Zimeng was somewhat surprised.

Based on her understanding of Grandpa Zhao, he was only generous to women, and the targets of his gifts were basically young girls.

Old Zhao shouldn't be interested in men at all.

Zhao Hongan then made a series of operations on his phone.

Li Xiaofei opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but ultimately he was too embarrassed to say it.

Uncle Zhao didn't ask for his bank card number, nor did he add him on WeChat.

Ding.

The next moment, Li Xiaofei's phone beeped with a text message.

He picked it up and glanced at it, his eyes widening in surprise.

His hands were almost trembling as he opened the text message.

This is a bank transfer notification.

Li Xiaofei's eyes scanned the long string of numbers several times, counting them carefully over and over again...

One million!

A full million!

"Uncle Zhao, you've given me too much..."

He just joined Uncle Zhao's side and hasn't done anything yet.

Uncle Zhao gave him a million directly. What does that mean?

"not much."

Zhao Hongan raised his hand.

"Money is just a number to me."

His nonchalant demeanor filled Li Xiaofei with awe.

really.

This is truly a reclusive master!

To them, money in the secular world is just a string of numbers.

At this moment, Li Xiaofei was extremely grateful that his decision to decisively side with Uncle Zhao was so wise.

[Congratulations, host, on successfully gifting one million. This first gift has triggered a 10,000x multiplier, returning 10 billion.]

[Li Xiaofei's loyalty +10, current loyalty 60.]

[Li Xiaofei's loyalty +10, current loyalty 70.]

[Li Xiaofei's loyalty +10, current loyalty 80.]

Li Zimeng looked at Zhao Hongan, her beautiful eyes sparkling.

When we were in the courtyard, everyone said that when Grandpa Zhao was giving gifts, he only gave them to beautiful women and not men; he was a lecherous old man.

Li Zimeng once thought that the old man was lustful, which is something everyone has.

She only realized now that she had misunderstood the old man.

There's always a deeper meaning behind an old man giving money to someone.

The fact that they are now sending gifts to Li Xiaofei, who has taken the initiative to join them, is the best proof of this.
