All the heavens are bound to the palace intrigue system

How could there be Teochew gang members lying in ambush here?

How did they know that I had arranged to meet with the loudspeaker here to pay back the money today?

Or perhaps these Teochew people have been staying here all along?

Yu Li was well aware of the seriousness of eliminating Niu Za; the Chaozhou gang would definitely not let him off the hook.

More than twenty people?

They really think highly of themselves.

Although his fighting skills are not what they used to be, he is not so arrogant as to think he can actually sweep through an entire street by himself. After all, weapons are indiscriminate, and in a group fight, the slightest carelessness can lead to a complete and utter defeat.

I can't go!

Yu Li was already considering backing out. He took out his phone, ready to call the loudspeaker to cancel the meeting. But as he dialed the number, a sudden doubt arose in his mind.

Did the Chaozhou gang lie in ambush here? Was Ba La involved?

That's actually quite possible!

After all, he and Laba had already become enemies, and if there really was an opportunity to use someone else to do his dirty work, Laba might not miss it.

Just now, Gao Lao said that Da Fei is here too. Da Fei is the big brother of Ba La. Logically speaking, Da Fei shouldn't need to get involved in repaying the money, so the reason why Da Fei is here is very suspicious.

No, we have to play it safe for now. We can't afford to fall into this trap. Let's get out of here!

Yu Li made a decision instantly and prepared to call Gao Lao and Fei Qiu.

But just then, the system's voice sounded again—

"Your promotion to the rank of Consort Pu has made you stand out in the harem and has also caught the attention of the other concubines. To gain a foothold in the harem, it is useless to lie low. You need to establish your authority and make Consort Pu's reputation resound throughout the harem so that no one in the harem will dare to underestimate you."

"The system has detected the host's eagerness to establish authority and has triggered a hidden mission—'Pounce on Changzai's domineering aura'."

Yu Li laughed in anger. Fine, fine, this damn system is too lazy to even install itself, huh? He clearly just wanted to lie low, when did he ever want to establish his authority?

It's clearly a mandatory task, but they have to find an excuse!

"Mission Objective: End this conspiracy between the Chaozhou rebels and La Gui Nu with a decisive and crushing victory. Success Reward: Mixed Martial Arts skill upgraded to Mastery; Failure Penalty: Combat power permanently locked at current level."

I'll beat your mother!

After reading the rest of the content, Yu Li couldn't help but slam his hand on the steering wheel and curse out loud.

Combat strength permanently locked?

He simply could not accept this punishment, so this was a mandatory task, and he had no choice!

One person sweeps through an entire street?

I'm afraid we really have to do it.

No, he has two helpers—Tall Guy and Fat Ball.

Yu Li took a deep breath to calm himself down, and his eyes instantly became resolute.

Fuck your mother, fuck!

He has never lacked the courage to take a desperate gamble; since there is no way to avoid it, he will fight to the death.

If he really wins, his status in the underworld will rise significantly. No one will see him as a greenhorn; he'll be a true Vietnamese gangster!

"Ding, host's ambition has increased significantly. Main quest three is now issued: Advance to Nobleman. Quest details: Advance to Nobleman within one month. Reward for success: 10 free attribute points; Penalty for failure: 10 attribute points will be randomly deducted."

Great, even the main questline has been updated, so there's not much more to say.

Yu Li dialed Gao Lao and Fei Qiu's number again, and his first words were: "Gao Lao, there's a chance to make a name for yourself right now. Do you want to risk your life for it?"

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone before Tall Guy's voice came through: "Brother Pu, I heard about what happened last night. You really took on more than a dozen people by yourself and even managed to get the beef offal?"

"Yes!" Yu Li said.

"Is it that you're going to deal with these people from the Chaozhou gang now?" Tall asked again.

"That's right," Yu Li said frankly. "The three of us against more than twenty of them, do we dare?"

"Since I, Tall Guy, have chosen to join the gang, I'm determined to make something of myself!" Tall Guy's voice became firm. "Now that Brother Pu has given me this opportunity, I will definitely seize it! Fatty Ball feels the same way."

"Great!" Yu Li was overjoyed. "If we can get through this, every bite of food I have will be a bite of soup for you all!"

"Brother Pu, what do you want us to do?" Tall Guy asked.

Yu Li said, "We're outnumbered, so we can't just blindly rush out. You're my secret force, so..."

After settling Gao Lao and Fei Qiu in, Yu Li drove straight to the entrance of Yu Ji Dessert Shop without saying a word.

The roller shutter door was pried open. Inside the shop, a loudspeaker and a long-haired young man were sitting at a table, drinking beer, smoking, and chatting.

There are only the two of them. It seems that the one with long hair is Dafei?

Last night, the loudspeaker was all respectful to me, but now he even dares to break into the dessert shop without my permission. This change in attitude is so blatant that it's hard to believe there's nothing fishy going on.

He sneered inwardly, turned off the engine, removed the car keys, picked up the money he had prepared, and swaggered towards the dessert shop. The two people inside the shop simultaneously fixed their gazes on Yu Li.

Dafei's gaze held a mixture of curiosity and amusement. Laba's eyes, however, darted away, concealing a hint of schadenfreude.

"Hey, isn't this the famous Brother Pu?" Laba chuckled and stood up, his tone somewhat sarcastic. "Brother Pu, you finally decided to come out? We agreed to meet this morning, but you stood me up without even a phone call. Now you're late again. Brother Pu, you really don't respect our Brother Dafei at all."

Dafei didn't speak or get up; he just looked down at Yu Li with a condescending gaze.

"Have you eaten shit? Your mouth stinks!" Yu Li raised an eyebrow and cursed without any politeness.

"You..." Lou Ba's face flushed crimson. "You really think you can be so arrogant just because you joined a Vietnamese gang? Let me tell you, arrogance never ends well. Be careful, you might get hacked to death on the street one day!"

Snapped!

Yu Li slapped the loudspeaker so hard it flew away.

"You son of a bitch, trying to teach me a lesson? Are you out of your mind?" Yu Li slammed the bag of money on the table with a thud, pointed at the loudspeaker, and started cursing, "Last night you were acting like a grandson to me, and today you dare to bare your teeth at me? You change your tune so fast, who gave you the courage?"

boom!

Da Fei slammed his fist on the table, his face ashen, and stood up: "You little punk, how dare you hit my men in front of me? You have no respect for me, Da Fei!"

"Brother Dafei, is it?" Yu Li looked at him with a half-smile. "You think you can take me down by teaming up with that bunch of bastards from the Chaozhou Gang? I'm here today to pay back my money, so I won't hold it against you, Brother Dafei. But the world is a long road, and we'll meet again someday. I'll remember what happened today; I'll definitely repay Brother Dafei's hospitality in the future!"

Dafei's expression changed, staring at Yu Li with a conflicted look: "What do you mean? I don't understand what you're saying!"

"Ha! Playing dumb isn't fun anymore, is it?" Yu Li sat opposite Da Fei, completely ignoring the scrambled-together, bewildered man, Ba La, who was covering his face. "Brother Da Fei, the money my dad owes you, Kang Ge and Gui Li Wu have already settled things. I kindly brought the money today, hoping to make friends, but I didn't expect Brother Da Fei to completely disregard me, so there's nothing more to say!"

Dafei squinted at Yu Li for a moment, then said, "Hey kid, when you're out in the game, you'd better know your own limitations..."

"Enough with the nonsense!" Yu Li interrupted him impatiently. "If you new reporters love to talk so much nonsense, you might as well all become teachers. I brought the money, but where's the IOU?"

Dafei sneered, his eyes blazing with anger: "I'm afraid you don't have enough money! Thirty-six hundred thousand, principal and interest, not a penny less!"

"Is this your idea, or Guili Wu's idea?" Yu Li raised an eyebrow.

Now he was 100% certain that Dafei and Laba were definitely colluding with the Chaozhou gang. If they weren't so sure they wouldn't be able to leave this street alive, they wouldn't have dared to go back on their word like this.

"You have no right to mention my boss!" Dafei said contemptuously. "You bastard, everyone says you took on ten guys last night and even killed Niu Za. I don't believe it! You even cheated to join the club, so don't try to act tough in front of me!"

Yu Li raised an eyebrow: "Very good, it seems I have to go back and tell Brother Kang that our Vietnamese gang actually has a spy planted by your Xinji."

Yesterday's selection was only attended by insiders, but Dafei found out about it, so there's only one explanation.

"Let's talk about it after you get out of here alive," Dafei said, sounding completely confident. "You brought 160,000 with you, right? This is interest. Don't worry, after you die, I'll continue to collect your family's debts from your mother and younger sister. Many people on Portland Street like to play the mother-daughter card, I..."

Whoosh!

Yu Li immediately overturned the table.

The next second, his fist slammed into Dafei's face!

With one punch, several of Dafei's teeth flew out!

"Fuck your mother!"

Yu Li cursed angrily, grabbed Da Fei by the collar, and rained punches down on Da Fei's face.

Actually, Dafei is quite capable in a fight, but he was completely unprepared for Yu Li's sudden attack. In addition, he was blocked by the overturned table, and as a result, he was completely stunned by Yu Li's attack!

After a dozen or so punches, Dafei didn't even have time to scream. Blood, tears, and snot mixed together and covered his entire face.

Yu Li aimed specifically at Da Fei's face. By the time Ba La reacted, roared, drew a machete, and charged forward, Da Fei's face had been beaten so badly that even his own mother wouldn't recognize him.

Yu Li was prepared, so he grabbed a chair and smashed it at the loudspeaker.

Whoosh!

As the chair fell apart, the loudspeaker also screamed and staggered backward.

Yu Li kicked the loudmouth hard in the chin, sending him flying. The back of his head slammed against the wall with a thud, and he collapsed to the ground, unconscious!

The loudspeaker, which once symbolized trouble and danger in Yu Li's eyes, became vulnerable in just one day.

Yu Li picked up the machete from the ground, grinned maliciously, walked up to Da Fei who was struggling to get up, grabbed his long hair, and held the machete to his neck.

"If you dare touch me, Xinji will not let you get away with this!" Dafei growled indistinctly, his eyes filled with fear and resentment.

He came here today to kick someone when they're down, but he never expected to end up like this.

"I'm about to die, why would I care about this?" Yu Li sneered, slightly tightening his grip on the knife as he sliced ​​open Da Fei's neck. "But taking you down with me before I die isn't bad."

"No! Brother Pu, don't be impulsive!" Dafei panicked.

Today's situation was indeed orchestrated by him.

Upon hearing the loudspeaker announce that Yu Li had asked him to repay the money, Da Fei hatched a wicked plan. His sources of information were outdated, leading him to disbelieve Yu Li's fighting prowess. So, he directly contacted the Chaozhou gang, intending to first seize the 160,000 yuan from Yu Li and then let the Chaozhou gang kill Yu Li.

After that, he took the IOU to Yu Li's family and sold them to Portland Street to make another profit.

He had a good plan, but he never expected that Yu Li was really good at fighting, and now he was even trying to drag him down with him.

"Brother Pu! Brother Pu, spare me! I was wrong! I don't want the money anymore!" At this moment, Dafei was filled with remorse. Why didn't he just take the money and leave? Why did he have to provoke this devil? Now he's about to lose his life.

"Fuck your mother!" Yu Li slashed the back of his knife across Da Fei's head, causing Da Fei to scream in agony as blood splattered everywhere.

"I owe money to your boss, Guili Wu. Who do you think you are to make decisions for me?" Yu Li sneered. "I originally planned to repay the money properly, but you dared to scheme against me with the Chaozhou gang. That means you have no sense of morality, so don't blame me for being ruthless too!"

"Brother Pu, let's talk this out. I was wrong, I admit defeat! Whatever you say, we'll do it!" Dafei begged in terror.

"Hey, see that car outside?" Yu Li pointed outside. "I just got this car, it's practically brand new. It used to be Niu Za's ride, it's quite famous. I'd give it to you for 80,000 yuan, isn't that fair?"

"Not at all! Not at all!" Dafei stammered, but in his heart he was cursing Yu Li half to death.

This piece of junk is worth at most 20,000, but now it's being sold for 80,000? They wouldn't even rob you like this.

But he dared not say anything.

"Very good!" Yu Li pointed to the shop again, "Yu's Dessert Shop is famous far and wide! The one-year lease hasn't expired yet, the shop has a stable customer base, and the equipment is complete. Now I'm transferring it to you for a transfer fee of 50,000 yuan. Is that reasonable?"

"That makes sense, that makes perfect sense, Brother Pu!" Dafei was almost in tears.

You want 50,000 for such a run-down place?

Five thousand yuan is more like it!

Besides, what use would a gangster like him have for a dessert shop?

But he still dared not say anything.

"Very good." Yu Li nodded in satisfaction. "And the apartment upstairs from my house is fully furnished and comfortably decorated. Most importantly, the neighbors are all very friendly. It's definitely a great place to live. I'll transfer it to you now. Since you've been so good, I'll give you a discount of ten thousand. You're getting a good deal."

"Thank you so much, Brother Pu, this house is amazing!" Dafei really shed tears.

The house belongs to the government, and the rent is paid monthly. Ten thousand yuan only covers the right to sublet and a room full of broken furniture. You could have just stolen it, why did you sublet my run-down house? This is so damn touching!

"Very good, very good!" Yu Li was even more satisfied. "Eighty thousand, fifty thousand, plus another ten thousand, that's fourteen thousand. You schemed against me today, violated morality, and caused me great mental distress. I've decided to take back the bottle of Royal Salute I treated to last night. Let's call it twelve thousand!"

"Consider the remaining eight thousand as compensation for emotional distress. That brings the total to sixteen thousand, and we're even!"

Dafei was dumbfounded. You didn't plan to pay back a single penny?
