All the heavens are bound to the palace intrigue system

Just as Ah Kang was questioning his existence, Tony called him.

"I heard that your new recruit, that scoundrel, has become famous?" Tony's sinister voice came through the phone. "Dashan called me, but I knew nothing about it."

"Brother Tony, I just got the news too!" Although Tony wasn't there, Ah Kang immediately stood up and said respectfully, "Tonight when I went to do business with Flower Cow, I did run into Pu Zai at the bar..."

He recounted the whole story, concluding, "But I parted ways with him after leaving the bar, and I don't know what happened after that. Hua Niu did tell me that Niu Za did indeed keep pestering his cousin. I guess Niu Za tried to force himself on her, but he didn't expect to run into a tough one, which is why he had such bad luck."

"If this kid's such a good fighter, why did he look like he only had brute strength when he joined the gang?" Tony chuckled. "Who is he trying to fool by hiding it all this time?"

Ah Kang scratched his head and said, "I also find it strange. Why would a subordinate not go all out to show off in front of the boss, but instead hide his skills? What's in it for him?"

"Do you think he's a ghost?" Tony asked.

Ah Kang was taken aback. The so-called "ghost" was actually an undercover police officer. In recent years, it had become an open secret that the police had planted undercover agents in various gangs. Many gang leaders had fallen victim to this, making all the gang leaders somewhat paranoid.

"Probably not?" Ah Kang said. "If he really were a ghost, he should behave himself. Why would he be showing off like this? He did something great tonight, and he did join us because his family owed money to loan sharks. Tony, you suspect him? Should we...?"

Ah Kang didn't finish his sentence, but a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"Now the whole of Hong Kong knows that our Vietnamese gang has produced a prodigy. If he dies, people will think I'm afraid of Da Shan," Tony said. "Not only can he not die, but he also has to be rewarded for his service."

"How are we going to explain this to Da Shan?" Ah Kang asked. "Aren't we still supposed to cooperate with him?"

"Da Shan did call me demanding someone, so I gave him one night. If he can find the person by dawn tomorrow, I have no complaints; I've given him plenty of face," Tony said. "You contact Pu Zai now and tell him to find a place to hide. If he accidentally dies, no one can be blamed. But if he doesn't die..."

"You follow him closely and watch him devour the offal. Remember to take a picture of him, then bring him to see me!"

Ah Kang felt a chill run down his spine, realizing that Pu Zai had aroused Tony's suspicion, so he needed to keep something on him.

"Understood, Tony!"

After hanging up the phone, Ah Kang immediately found the contact information that Yu Li had left behind and dialed it.

But the phone was switched off.

He tried calling several times but couldn't get through, so he had no choice but to drive there himself, following the address he had left behind.

Besides A Kang, there was another person who went to find Yu Li as soon as he received the news; that person was Ma Jun.

Watson told him the news; often, the underworld has far better access to information than the police.

Upon receiving the news, Ma Jun immediately realized that Yu Li was in danger, but he also couldn't get through to Yu Li by phone, so he simply went to Tai Hing Village in Tuen Mun to find Yu Li himself.

But as soon as he got downstairs, he saw a group of thugs coming out of the building entrance, cursing and swearing.

He got out of the car after the people had gone far away and hurriedly went upstairs, only to find a room that had been completely smashed.

"Uncle, what happened across the street?" Ma Jun asked hurriedly when he saw his neighbor craning his neck to look in their direction.

"What else could it be? Gangsters ransacking the house." The old man sighed. "It's all Ah-Tai's fault. That gambling addict racked up debts, dragging Xiao-E and the others down with him. This isn't the first time something like this has happened, but what's strange is, why didn't they throw paint this time..."

Because this isn't a loan shark debt collection attempt...

Ma Jun silently said something to himself, then turned and went downstairs.

He knew that Yu Li must have taken his family into hiding; the kid was quite clever.

After going downstairs, he immediately called Watson and explained the situation.

"He probably doesn't trust the police yet, so I think you should avoid contacting him," Watson suggested after a moment's thought. "Otherwise, he might suspect you're trying to arrest him."

"I think he's pretty smart; he probably wouldn't think that way." Ma Jun recalled the scene at the bar. Although it was his first time meeting Yu Li, they worked together very well. "What will Tony do? Will he stand up for him?"

"Protecting him is a must. If we don't, the entire underworld will look down on him," Watson said confidently. "However, this guy is very suspicious. I suspect it won't be easy for Pu Zai to get through this. If... I mean, if Pu Zai's current situation leads to someone getting killed, what will we do then?"

This is also what Ma Jun is worried about.

Police regulations include specific provisions on how to deal with informants who commit murder. Regardless of the reason, they will inevitably go to jail, although they will be given a lighter sentence.

After all, an informant is just an informant; they're not even a formal police officer.

Ma Jun was worried about this, which is why he was in such a hurry to find Yu Li. Otherwise, if Yu Li really killed someone, he was afraid that the guy would go completely mad and simply go down a dark path.

"There's no use saying anything now that we can't find him," Ma Jun said helplessly. "I can't go looking for him in a big way either, otherwise I'll be hurting him, not helping him!"

"Then it depends on whether he can get through this hurdle himself."

Meanwhile, Yu Li and his family arrived at Dijinyuan without incident. After showing their property ownership certificate, they were able to enter the community without any further trouble.

This upscale neighborhood is indeed incomparable to ordinary communities. The security at the entrance is extremely strict. After registering everyone's ID card and vehicle information, people are allowed to enter. Moreover, two security guards accompany them throughout the process, and they only leave after escorting them to their doorstep.

"What the hell? They treated me like a prisoner!" Yu Qian muttered with some dissatisfaction after the others left.

"It must be a problem with the car." Yu Li guessed where the problem lay. He had snatched the car from Niu Za. The security guard had made a phone call when registering the car information, and their attitude changed after that call.

Although the security guard didn't ask any further questions, Yu Li knew that if he wanted to live peacefully here, he would eventually have to give the property management an explanation for the car issue.

The further Yu Li got, the more he felt that Hong Kong Island was a completely divided city. The rich and ordinary citizens seemed to live in two different worlds.

In a place like Imperial Garden, you'll never have to worry about thugs coming to cause trouble.

Wow! This house is huge!

"So luxurious? Truly befitting the mansions of Imperial Garden!"

"Li-zai, is this really the house you bought?"

After entering and turning on the lights, the three women were immediately drawn to the scene before them.

Even decades later, the interior design of this house is not outdated and can definitely be considered a luxury home.

Upon entering, you first see the lobby, which is much larger than the housing estate where Yu Li originally lived.

After passing through the foyer, the entire living room, dining room, and balcony are open and airy, offering a panoramic view.

The overall decoration is Western-style, with the lighting fixtures, sofas, and some more detailed decorations all exuding luxury.

There are eight rooms in total. In addition to two bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, there are two guest bedrooms, a study, a servant's room, and two bathrooms.

"This place is amazing! Even the bathroom here is bigger than our old house!"

After touring the entire apartment, Yu Qianru, still in a daze, exclaimed sincerely, "Brother, can we really live here in the future?"

"Of course, this will be our home from now on," Yu Li said with a smile, deliberately glancing at Qiu Di as he spoke.

Qiu Di's gaze toward Yu Li at this moment was very complicated.

She never imagined that Yu Li would own such a luxury mansion.

When they first met, she thought Yu Li was just an ordinary gangster; it was only when Yu Li saved her from Niu Za that she realized this man was different from ordinary gangsters—he had a sense of justice.

Once outside the bar, the man revealed his witty side, captivating her; then came the fierce fight in the alley, showcasing his bravery.

His handling of the beef offal revealed his ruthless side, but on the way to Tai Hing Village in Tuen Mun, Yu Li's analysis made her admire the man's intelligence and composure.

Now, she has also discovered that Yu Li is hiding his talent and wealth.

Just when she thought she had seen through Yu Li, this man would magically shed another layer of disguise.

How many secrets does this man still have?

This made her feel threatened, yet she couldn't help but want to get closer.

"Mother, little sister and Qiudi, come here first." After the rooms were assigned, Yu Li called the three women to the living room.

He opened the canvas bag, took out 50,000 yuan, and handed it to Lin Yue'e.

"Mother, please accept this money; consider it for household expenses," he said to his mother.

"No, no, Mother has money!" Lin Yue'e hurriedly declined. "Besides, how can we possibly spend all this money? Let's just put it in the bank."

"Mother, things are different now," Yu Li said firmly. "This is Imperial Garden, everything is more expensive than in Daxing Village. Keep your money for yourself. I'll pay for the family's expenses and my little sister's tuition."

Lin Yue'e was visibly shaken and wiped away her tears: "Li Zai, you've really grown up. You're the pillar of this family now."

Yu Li squeezed his mother's hand and comforted her, "The hard times of the past are over, Mother. From now on, you can look forward to enjoying a life of happiness."

"As long as you and Qiannu are safe and sound, that's all I want," Lin Yue'e said with emotion.

Yu Li smiled and took out another ten thousand yuan, throwing it to Qiu Di.

"I was in a rush, so take this money with you for now, consider it a loan," he said with a smile. "You can't refuse!"

"So domineering?" Qiu Di bit her lip, seemingly wanting to say something, but she glanced at Lin Yue'e and held back.

"Then I'll accept it, thank you Ali," Qiu Di said.

"Brother, what about me? I want one too!" Yu Qian said expectantly.

Yu Li smiled and ruffled her hair: "Of course you have one too, but I won't give it to you now. Qiannu, you can't go to your old school anymore. I'll help you transfer to a nearby school, and you can stay home and study on your own for the time being."

"Really?" Yu Qian's eyes lit up. "Is it a private school? I've heard that private schools have a really great environment, the teachers are excellent, and there aren't any gangsters bullying the students!"

"You'll know whether it's true or not once you get into school," Yu Li said.

"What I'm about to say, I hope you'll all remember, Mother, Little Sister, and Qiudi." Yu Li's expression turned serious. "This matter is still a bit troublesome. Until it's resolved, you can only move around within the neighborhood. Under no circumstances should you go out onto the streets!"

This is an affluent residential area, so theoretically there shouldn't be any gangsters around here. Even if you go out shopping, as long as you don't wander too far, you shouldn't have any trouble.

But better safe than sorry, Yu Li didn't want to take any risks, so he simply defined the area where his family could move around. As long as they were in the community, the security guards would ensure their safety, so Yu Li had no worries.

"I'll have someone do the grocery shopping tomorrow," Yu Li continued. "If you need anything, make a list and buy it all tomorrow."

"Brother, how long will it take before we can leave?" Yu Qian asked.

"It might take a week, or just a few days, but it won't be too long. After all, you can't miss school," Yu Li said. "If you get bored at home, you can walk around the neighborhood, meet new neighbors, or watch TV at home."

"It won't be boring at all!" Yu Qian exclaimed excitedly. "I used to dream of having a TV at home, and now we have such a big one here. I could watch it all day long and not get bored!"

"But it can't be too long, you still have to study," Lin Yue'e said.

"Okay, okay, Mom!" Yu Qian stuck out her tongue.

"There's one more thing you need to remember. If the neighbors ask, just say your family is in business, selling clothes, appliances, and stocks," Yu Li instructed. "Mother, you absolutely mustn't let anything slip, or not only will the neighbors look down on you, but you'll also face other troubles."

"Oh? What's wrong?" Lin Yue'e asked with concern.

"Auntie, this will definitely cause a lot of trouble!" Qiu Di said, and then she told the story she had heard about the gang leader being turned away, which made Lin Yue'e and Yu Qian both amazed and worried.

Yu Li was also hearing about this for the first time, but he wasn't too surprised. Good residential communities do this; they screen residents to avoid creating a chaotic environment, which would not only lower the community's prestige but also further affect property prices.

The houses in Dijingyuan are not hard to sell, so the developer naturally has to maintain the living environment of the community and screen the owners.

"Li Zai, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep it a secret and I'll let it slip," Lin Yue'e said nervously.

"How to say it, Qiu Di will teach you and Xiao Qian." Yu Li looked at Qiu Di, "This task is entrusted to you."

Qiu Di felt a little happy. She was actually somewhat insecure, but this made her feel that she was still useful.

"Don't worry, Auntie, Qiannv, I'll teach you what to say when you encounter your neighbors."

"And Xiaoqian," Yu Li then looked at his younger sister, "I'm giving you a task: compile a list of what we need to buy, and also your clothing sizes. Don't wear your old clothes anymore. Here, we respect the clothes before we respect the people. If you're not dressed well, no amount of complaining will make a difference."
