All the heavens are bound to the palace intrigue system

Did Ah Zha go find the brothers from last night?

Yu Li was somewhat surprised when he heard the news.

He wasn't surprised by the event itself, but by how quickly it happened.

However, recalling what Ma Jun had said before—that the number gang had revealed the amount of money and forced the Vietnamese gang to repay it—he understood why Brother Zha was so eager to confirm how much money he had received.

He didn't hide anything from Ma Jun and made a phone call to Gao Lao right in front of him.

"Brother Gao, Brother Zha found out about you taking the money last night. He's going to question you guys and try to drag me out. You have two choices: first, come with me and go all the way; second, cut ties with me and tell Brother Zha the truth. Choose now, and I won't blame you no matter what you choose."

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone, as if they were digesting the news.

After a long pause, a slightly hoarse voice finally spoke: "Brother Bao, I know you're no ordinary person. I only have one question for you: do you have a plan for what's to come?"

"Of course," Yu Li said with a smirk. "Otherwise, would I be asking for trouble?"

Tall Guy took a deep breath: "Okay, I'll go with you! But the only person I trust is Fatty. Wherever I go, he'll go."

"Then it's just the two of you," Yu Li said. "Take your phones and money and leave now. Go to the fountain in the plaza of the Yihe Building in Central. I'll have someone take you there."

"clear!"

After hanging up, Yu Li called Hei Zi again and said the same thing.

Hei Zi hesitated for a long time, but finally decided to continue following Yu Li, and brought his brother Xiao Ji and Chang Fen with him.

Finally, after hesitating for a moment, Yu Li also made a call to Xiao Kang.

This time he didn't say much, just one sentence: "I've parted ways with Brother Zha and his gang. Are you with him or me?"

After a slight hesitation, Xiao Kang said, "Sorry, Brother Bao..."

"It's alright, everyone has their own ambitions." Yu Li chuckled and hung up the phone.

He looked up and saw Ma Jun looking at him with a very strange expression.

"What? Never seen such a handsome informant before?" Yu Li chuckled. "Yesterday I was the number one man in the Vietnamese gang after the three brothers, and today I only have five underlings left. Sigh, life is truly unpredictable."

"You used to work for others, now you're your own boss. Don't make yourself sound so pitiful!" Ma Jun couldn't help but say. "I've never seen an informant become a boss!"

"You've seen it today," Yu Li said. "Besides, I'm not the boss, I don't join gangs! I didn't have a choice before, but now I choose to be a good person!"

"Can you wash yourself clean?" Ma Jun looked at him intently.

Yu Lixiang saw the corpse of the beef offal at Nanshengwei.

He smiled and said, "Of course, after all, I've always been a good person."

He quickly changed the subject: "Actually, my current identity is more suitable as an informant. I happen to know something about Dashan's shipment, but I still need to confirm it."

Ma Jun's expression brightened: "Are you serious?"

Ma Jun knew that the three Vietnamese brothers had taken over Da Shan's shipment worth 80 million. But he didn't know where the shipment was, and Hua Sheng hadn't received any information either.

Now, Yu Li says he knows, is that possible?

"Just wait for my news." Yu Li chuckled. "I've done you a great job, don't forget to treat me to a late-night snack."

"If you can really leak information and help us get this shipment, forget about late-night snacks, I'll apply for a Good Citizen Award for you!"

"If you want me dead, then go ahead and apply!" Yu Li rolled her eyes in annoyance.

Ma Jun laughed; he was obviously joking. If people in the underworld found out that Yu Li was an informant for the police, he would be in endless trouble.

"Honestly, I didn't expect you to be so humane," Ma Jun said with some emotion. "Your underlings have only been following you for a few days, yet you're still willing to give them information and continue to lead them."

"They're just after money; they're not inherently bad," Yu Li said calmly.

Most importantly, these five people hadn't even officially joined the Vietnamese gang, and they had absolutely no sense of belonging to the three Vietnamese brothers. Now that he had snatched them away and made them acknowledge him as their leader, he naturally felt responsible for them.

"Aren't you afraid they'll betray you?" Ma Jun asked curiously. "After all, on the surface, you're doomed."

"We have to give them a chance," Yu Li smiled. "Otherwise, I'd be too heartless."

He certainly didn't completely trust Gao Lao and his five men, but as he said, they had always been loyal, courageous, and never made a mistake in their service. If he were to abandon these underlings without saying a word and let them be captured and interrogated by Brother Zha, he would be truly heartless.

"Then why is the last one different?" Ma Jun asked.

Yu Li knew he was referring to a moderately prosperous life.

"I do have a knack for judging people," Yu Li chuckled.

Xiao Kang and his men were trusted underlings of the Vietnamese gang. They had only been with Yu Licai for less than a day, so there was no question of loyalty.

Although Xiao Kang was quick to step forward and speak up for Yu Li when he was at the Brilliant Club, he was just seizing opportunities to climb the ladder, which doesn't prove anything.

So Yu Li didn't say anything, he just gave him a choice.

Unsurprisingly, after weighing the pros and cons, this person chose to part ways with Yu Li.

"Alright, I've said everything I needed to say. Is there anything else you'd like to say, Brother Ma?" Yu Li asked.

"Actually, I really hope you can clear your name," Ma Jun said. "You're too smart. If you don't clear your name, you'll become my biggest enemy in the future. I don't want us to become enemies."

Yu Li smiled slightly: "I didn't want to either."

"By the way, help me spread a message." Yu Li looked at Ma Jun, "Say that A Zha wants to kill me to silence me in order to swallow 40 million."

"You want Baldy and his gang to fight each other like dogs?" Ma Jun raised an eyebrow. "But doing so won't work on you. They'll still find you and make you die first."

"At least the Number Gang will cause trouble for Ah Zha and his gang, and that's enough," Yu Li said with a smile.

After the two separated, Yu Li returned home.

His family has all gone out, leaving him all alone. There's nothing he can do now but wait for news.

He first called Viper and asked him to pick up five of his underlings at the entrance of the Yihe Building and have them hide the man.

Then I received a call from Shen Tang.

Shen Tang was surprised because she tested the skills of the four female bodyguards that Yu Li had sent, and it turned out that even if her four former bodyguards joined forces, they couldn't defeat one of them.

After asking a few simple questions, I discovered another advantage – professionalism.

She was very satisfied, but also shocked, wondering where Yu Li had found such a person.

"Have you seen the viper?" Yu Li asked.

"I've met him," Shen Tang said. "I've already given him the money. Also, he told me about registering a company. I have connections, so I introduced him to them as well."

"Thank you, Sister Tang," Yu Li said with a smile.

"There's no need for formalities between us," Shen Tang said. "When are we meeting today? We still have a lot to work on."

She didn't know she was pregnant.

"It won't work these next few days," Yu Li said. "You should take care of the business we discussed before, and my bar. I'll have Qiu Di contact you. We'll meet again after this period."

"Okay." Shen Tang was a little reluctant, but didn't say anything more.

At this point, whether Shen Tang is pregnant or not is irrelevant to the outcome. After ending the conflict with the Vietnamese gang, Yu Li's next target is Wang Bao.

Killing someone is actually very simple; one bullet is enough.

Once Wang Bao dies, his gang will inevitably descend into chaos. Who will care whether the women he's with are pregnant or not then?

Of course, even if Wang Bao dies, Shen Tang still has to pay his debts. But things will be much simpler then.

On the other side, Ah Zha found out Gao Lao's address, but when he arrived, the place was empty.

He realized something was wrong and immediately went to look for Hei Zi and the others, but still couldn't find them.

Fortunately, Xiao Kang and his men were eventually caught; they were the same guys who had gone to the Johnny's Club together the night before.

After capturing the men, he ordered them to be beaten until they were covered in blood without saying a word.

Xiao Kang lay in a pool of blood, weakly raising his head, and asked in grief and indignation, "Why? Brother Zha! I said I wasn't on the same side as A Bao, I said I would only follow you! I said I would do whatever you asked me to do, why?!"

Azha's methods were cruel. He didn't just resort to violence; he beat Xiaokang until his skin was torn and bleeding, and then he personally broke Xiaokang's leg with a steel bar.

"Ah..." Xiao Kang suddenly screamed.

Because Ah Zha pressed the half-smoked cigarette against his nose.

"Why?" Ah Zha sneered. "Did you take the money or not?"

"You told me to go with Ah Bao, of course I'd take the money he offered, what did I do wrong?" Xiao Kang shouted indignantly.

"Let me teach you a lesson," Ah Zha patted his face, "In the Vietnamese gang, only the three of us brothers are the bosses! No matter who I make you follow, you can only acknowledge the three of us brothers as your eldest brothers! Ah Kang, if it were you, what would you do?"

Ah Kang said in a deep voice, "If it were me, I would have called you the moment I got the money last night."

"Did you hear that?" Azha coldly looked at Xiaokang, whose eyes were glazed over. "Damn it, you caused me to lose tens of millions. I'm already being merciful by not killing you."

The news has been confirmed. There were a total of twenty-nine bags of money, but last night Yu Li only gave him twelve bags, and distributed one bag to all the brothers.

In other words, Yu Li took more than half of it by himself.

Ah Zha was furious and wished he could kill Yu Li immediately.

But now nobody knows where Yu Li is.

He asked Ah Kang to light a cigarette for him, then walked to the side and dialed Yu Li's number.

"Brother Zha?" The call was answered quickly, and Yu Li's voice sounded relaxed.

"Ah Bao, I've missed you so much!" Ah Zha grinned. "Where are you now?"

"Brother Zha, you actually want me dead, don't you?" Yu Li said.

"You're really risking your life for money," A-Zha sneered. "You might be able to take it, but do you think you'll be able to spend it?"

"Brother Zha, do you know what my biggest regret is?" Yu Li said, "My biggest regret is thinking you weren't a good-for-nothing."

"What the hell did you say?" Ah Zha instantly broke down.

"I'm telling you, you're a piece of trash!" Yu Li sneered. "I gave you twelve bags of money so you could hold off the Number Gang, not so you could kneel down and be their dog! You've been so useless, you were forced into silence and now you're coming after me?"

"Who built that magnificent club for you? Who built that Johnny's for you? Who gave you those twelve bags of money? It was me! Without me, you wouldn't even have gotten that batch of goods from Da Shan. If you're not a piece of trash, then who is?"

Ah Zha has completely turned red: "You bastard! Tell me where you are! I'll make you regret being born!"

"Do you think I'm stupid?" Yu Li sneered. "If you're so capable, then find me! Also, I'm officially informing you that I'm leaving the gang from now on! Furthermore, I've already spread the word that I've given you all the money, and now you're trying to kill me to keep it all to yourself."

"Fine, fine, fine!" Ah Zha laughed angrily. "Just wait and see who dies first!"

"Of course it's you, you bastard!" Yu Li laughed and hung up the phone. At that moment, he felt like he was more of a villain than A Zha.

In a fit of rage, Ah Zha threw his phone down. With nowhere to vent his anger, he snatched the steel bar from his subordinate and, like a mad bull, walked up to Xiao Kang, raising the steel bar high in Xiao Kang's terrified eyes.

The screams went from high-pitched at first to faint and lifeless later; Azha hit him for a full ten minutes.

Xiao Kang's limbs were completely useless, his head was split open, and he lay on the ground like a rag doll, his lifeless eyes filled with regret.

He wondered why he hadn't agreed to Yu Li's suggestion before and followed Yu Li down that dark path.

He chose to stay with the Vietnamese gang, but he never expected it to end like this.

"Search every inch of Hong Kong Island to find that bastard!" Ah Zha gritted his teeth, grabbing Ah Kang's collar. "I want him alive! Doesn't he have a mother and a sister? Find them both!"

"Understood!" Ah Kang said in a trembling voice.

"Brother Zha, what should we do with them?" one of the underlings asked, pointing at Xiao Kang and the others.

"Give back all the money you took from me!" Ah Zha said coldly. "As for him..."

He glanced at Xiao Kang; the man was barely breathing and was clearly nearing his end.

"Sink into the sea!" he uttered coldly.

Xiao Kang's dim eyes flickered, and finally he slowly closed them.

That's how life is in the martial world; one wrong step and you're doomed.

In order to find out the truth, Ah Zha had to contact the Number Gang.

But the message Yu Li released worked. Baldy and Four-Eyes made their stance clear: catching the mole was their own business in Vietnam, but they would only ask Ah Zha for the money.

Furthermore, the timeframe has been shortened to one day, meaning they need to see Ah Zha return the money before nightfall tomorrow.

Enraged, Ah Zha smashed his new phone again.

If Yu Li's actions were merely a betrayal of the gang, A Zha could directly issue a bounty.

However, Yu Li had a large sum of money, which made A Zha hesitant to do so. He feared that if everyone knew about it, the money would eventually fall into someone else's hands.

He could only rack his brains and use his personal connections to search for Yu Li's family as extensively as possible.

This includes the spotted cow.

Hua Niu is Qiu Di's cousin, and Qiu Di is Yu Li's girlfriend.

When Ah Zha found Hua Niu, the latter was with his gang's uncles.

"Brother Zha, I know why you're looking for me," Hua Niu said calmly. "I contacted Qiu Di before you came, and she clearly told me that she wouldn't tell me where she was or see me, so asking me won't help."

Ah Zha glanced at the uncles behind Hua Niu, his face dark, and finally left unwillingly.

But before he left, he was stopped by one of his uncles.

"Ah Zha, don't involve family members. Qiu Di's family is also Hua Niu's family. They have nothing to do with Ah Bao, your subordinate. Besides, I don't think a gangster would do anything for his girlfriend's family. So, you understand what we mean?"

"Brother Zha, Qiu Di's father is my uncle," Hua Niu said. "Please be magnanimous and don't make things difficult for the old man."

Ah Zha turned around and gave him a cold look before leaving.

After he left, Huaniu immediately called Qiuti: "Cousin, it's all settled, you don't need to worry about this. But I still have to give you a piece of advice... Okay, okay, I won't say anything more..."
