A life of success begins with being a landlord.

The restaurant owner stepped forward, hesitatingly saying, "You..."

"Bring me some dishes and beer!" I took out two hundred yuan and handed it over.

The boss took the money, asked no more questions, and happily went off to work.

He Tiantian sat down and glared at me angrily.

I pointed at the glass door: "Why are you looking at me? Look outside, see who Sister Liang is bringing soon, and you'll know!"

He Tiantian glared at me, staring at the other side through the glass door.

I called Nan Batian again: "Senior Brother, I'm at the Haokelai Restaurant across from the Second Hospital. Your brothers have arrived. Set up ambushes on both sides and act according to the situation."

Nan Batian said, "Understood, I'll bring my men over personally. By the way, who wants to kill you?"

"It should be Niu Lao Er from Wuwei Lane. After you arrive, act according to the situation and don't rush to show yourself. Let me talk to him first."

"Damn, this is so troublesome!" Nan Batian hung up the phone.

He Tiantian overheard my phone call and turned to look at me: "I've been to Sister Ru's clothing chain store... Could it be a lie?"

"Her nickname is Sister Liang the Third. She used to be a gangster in our county, often coming to schools to scam people and trick them into going out to make money. Now she's doing business in Dongguan City, and many of the young ladies in Wuwei Lane are her subordinates."

I lit a cigarette: "The other day you saw me with a woman. That woman was my high school classmate. She was tricked into coming here by Sister Liang. Now she can't leave and has fallen into prostitution, having to pick up twenty men every day."

He Tiantian was frightened and muttered, "Really?"

"What good would it do me to lie to you?"

I glared at her: "For you, I fell out with Sister Liang, and now she's going to bring men to kill me. And you, instead, slapped me!"

"I...who told you to talk so rudely? Even if it's true, couldn't you have said it properly?"

"Speak properly?"

I sneered, "There's a saying in my hometown: 'A solid nostril needs a big pole to poke it.' I can't wake you up even with my scolding. Do you think you'd believe me if I spoke properly?"

He Tiantian glared at me, then hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.

Five minutes later, A-Chao, one of Nan Batian's men, arrived with three brothers.

Ah Chao was quick-witted. He went into the small restaurant alone to report to me, whispering, "Brother Nan is with his men behind us. Brother Zu, what's our plan?"

I looked around and saw a fruit shop next door: "You guys wait here at the fruit shop. If they don't slash me, don't move."

"Understood." Ah Chao nodded and turned to leave.

He Tiantian frowned at me: "Wang Yaozu, what exactly are you doing? Are you involved in the underworld?"

"What kind of bastard am I, getting involved in the underworld? It's just because a friend gave me face."

I shook my head, got up and walked to the restaurant entrance, looking left and right.

Surely Sister Liang won't skip this?

Just then, Sister Liang rode her bicycle to clear the way, and three large motorcycles roared over and stopped in front of the Second Hospital across the street.

Several men jumped off a motorcycle, wielding iron bars, and searched in front of the hospital.

Two blond-haired men carrying iron bars entered the hall.

I called He Tiantian out to see, and sneered:

"Look at this! Sister Liang brought six blond-haired thugs, they're going to kill me. If you go with her tonight, those six thugs will probably take turns attacking you!"

He Tiantian shuddered, finally scared, and grabbed my arm: "You should hide in the restaurant, they haven't seen you yet."

"What are you hiding for? I'm waiting for them!" I turned and glared at them. "You go inside first, and don't come out unless I call you!"

As we were talking, Sister Liang finally saw me, waved her hand, and led six blond-haired men over.

He Tiantian hesitated for a moment, then slipped into the restaurant: "Then be careful yourself!"

I pressed the screwdriver at my waist and then pulled out a lighter.

Ah Chao, a seasoned veteran, saw that the other side was carrying an iron rod and immediately ordered two of his brothers to take a gun and stand on either side of me behind me.

Ah Chao and another brother pretended to be spectators, standing further away with their arms crossed.

In the blink of an eye, Sister Liang was already ten steps in front of me.

"Wang Yaozu, is that it? I'll chop you up today!"

Sister Liang, in a menacing manner, waved her hand and ordered, "It's this brat! Break his legs!"

The two blond-haired boys exchanged a glance, then slowly stepped forward, carrying their iron rods.

The two brothers behind me didn't say a word, each took a step forward, and showed me their brightly lit cameras!

Liang Sanjie and Xiao Huangmao on the other side were both stunned and dared not step forward.

When it comes to fighting, whoever is tougher is the boss.

Pipes are inferior to films, and films are inferior to trolls; this is an insurmountable gap in strength.

My open hand consists of two pieces, but it's enough to deter the opponent from making any rash moves with their six pipes.

The blond guy opposite me wasn't stupid either. He looked around and saw Ah Chao a little further away. He didn't dare to act recklessly anymore, so he pointed his iron rod at me and said, "You bastard, where are you from? Who are you with?"

"I'm just a wage earner."

I stepped forward and pointed at Sister Liang: "Sister Liang, come here and talk to me."

Sister Liang gritted her teeth and stepped forward, glaring at me: "Wang Yaozu, what do you want? I've asked Luo Hongyu, I know your background. Aren't you from our hometown, Caomiao Township? Let me tell you, I can find your hometown!"

I chuckled and said, "I can find your hometown too. Don't you live in Dazhong Lane in the county town?"

"You..." Sister Liang nodded, then pointed to the two knife-wielding thugs beside me: "Luo Hongyu said you're involved in pyramid schemes. Are these your pyramid scheme bosses?"

This woman, who didn't know Ah Chao and the others, thought I was really doing pyramid schemes here.

"That's right, I'm involved in pyramid schemes."

I decided to play along, using a mix of truth and falsehood: "In Dongguan, we have a pyramid scheme army of 100,000. I have several hundred Shuang Er Kang business partners and over eighty downlines. Are you scared?"

"Are you afraid of me?"

Sister Liang didn't dare to make a move, but she was stubborn. She turned to the little blond-haired man and ordered, "Call someone, tell Brother Erniu to bring some spittoons over. I'll cripple this bastard tonight!"

The blond-haired guy took out his phone and started making calls.

"Sister Liang, it's no use calling me here."

I'm done playing this game. I glared at her and said, "From now on, don't bother He Tiantian anymore. We'll call it even. But if you dare to lay a finger on He Tiantian again and try to drag her down with you, I'll go to Wuwei Alley and kill you!"

He Tiantian's voice came from behind me: "Yes, Liang Yueru, I'm quitting business. I'll stay a nurse..."

I looked back and saw that He Tiantian had walked out of the restaurant and was standing behind me.

"You brat, I have plenty of pretty girls under my command, one more won't make a difference!" Sister Liang finally revealed her true colors, bursting into a tirade:

"I'm only thinking of you because we're from the same hometown, hoping you can make some money and live a rich life. Do you think you're the only one who's precious and privileged?"

He Tiantian was both angry and embarrassed, stammering, "You...you really...do that kind of work?"

"What do you mean, 'this' and 'that'? I'm the one who brings girls." Sister Liang glared. "You've eaten several meals off me, give me back my money!"

Tears welled up in He Tiantian's eyes, and she stammered, "How much? I'll pay you back!"

"Ten thousand yuan, I'll give you a discount."

Sister Liang sneered, "Pay back the money, and we'll be even. If you can't pay it back, then you'd better go and entertain my guests!"

He Tiantian was shocked: "You're talking nonsense! We've only eaten together three times, and you want ten thousand yuan?"
