A life of success begins with being a landlord.

Sister Liang spat, "You've wasted my time, you know that? I'm worth a thousand yuan an hour. Time is money, you know?"

"You, you're bullying me! This is... extortion!" He Tiantian trembled all over, tears streaming down her face.

I watched coldly, smiling without saying a word.

This kind of big-breasted, brainless idiot should be taught a lesson so she'll listen to you next time.

Seeing that I remained silent, Sister Liang assumed I was afraid and pressed closer:

"Wang Yaozu, don't think you're something special just because you made some money through pyramid schemes. You'd better not interfere in my business with He Tiantian. She owes me, and she has to pay it back."

He Tiantian was truly frightened and cried out, "Liang Yueru, I'll call the police!"

"Report it now, report it right now."

Liang Sanjie was arrogant: "I've seen your ID card, I have your photo, and I know your home address. Even if you go back to your hometown of Feicheng, I can still find you!"

"What...what do you want?"

"What do I want? I'll tell you straight: a big boss has taken a liking to you and wants to be your friend, which is why I've gone to great lengths and invested so much to get close to you."

Sister Liang sighed, "I can compromise. You can work part-time with me from now on, and I guarantee you three thousand yuan a month. How about that?"

He Tiantian, unable to bear it any longer, grabbed me and said, "Wang Yaozu, lend me your phone, I'm calling the police!"

"It's no use, sister."

I rolled my eyes and pointed at Sister Liang: "Have you gloated enough? Now shut up and get out of here, so I don't have to resort to violence."

"You bastard, it seems you're determined to go against me?"

Sister Liang took a few steps back, then waved her hand and ordered, "Beat him! Cripple this brat!"

Whoosh!

I took the initiative and with a wave of my hand, the lighter shot out.

"Ouch!" The blond guy at the front was hit squarely in the right eye and screamed as he crouched down.

Waaah—!

But at the same time, an iron rod flew through the air and struck my face.

That was thrown by the blond guy on the other side.

I knew He Tiantian was standing behind me, so I didn't dare to bend down to avoid her and quickly raised my hand to block.

boom!

I managed to block it, but the iron rod somersaulted and still struck me on the head.

"Hiss..." My head jolted; I knew I'd been hit. I immediately yelled, "He Tiantian, get out of the way!"

"You bastard, you actually dared to lay a hand on me!"

The two brothers behind me pulled out their cameras and pounced on me.

Ah Chao, along with another brother, came from both sides to flank them.

Seeing that the situation was dire, Sister Liang shouted at the top of her lungs, "Retreat! Retreat!"

The few blond-haired kids took off running, scattering in panic.

Two of the blond-haired boys were a little slower, and their backs had already been ripped open by the film, with blood gushing out.

I touched my head and found my hand covered in blood. I was furious. I pulled out a screwdriver, turned around, and swung it at her: "You bitch, Liang Sanjie, take this!"

The screwdriver shot out like a rainbow piercing the sun, hitting Liang Sanjie squarely on the buttocks.

I could stab him straight in the back, but I can't bring myself to kill him.

"oops……"

With a thud, Sister Liang threw down a vicious dog that was trying to steal her food, then got up and continued her desperate escape.

Ah Chao and his brothers continued their pursuit.

"Forget it, don't chase after him!" I called out to Ah Chao.

Ah Chao put away the film and walked back with a grin.

In their eyes, these street brawls are probably just minor skirmishes, commonplace occurrences.

"Wang Yaozu, don't move, let me see!"

He Tiantian cried, and by the light of the restaurant's lamp, she examined my wounds in front of the restaurant: "Your head is broken. There's a hospital right across the street. Go to the hospital quickly to get it bandaged..."

Ah Chao leaned forward and glanced at it, then shook his head dismissively: "It's just a superficial wound, nothing serious. Just put on a band-aid and take some anti-inflammatory medicine."

I also felt it was nothing, and shook my head, saying, "It's alright, it's alright. I still have some medicine at home, I can just apply it when I get back."

He Tiantian ignored her and ran towards the hospital, saying, "Don't move, I'll go get you some gauze..."

Just then, a car and a large loaf of bread drove up.

"It's Brother Nan," Ah Chao said to me.

I nodded.

Nan Batian climbed out of the car, looked me up and down, and suddenly chuckled, "Brother, weren't you supposed to be pretty good at dealing with me? How come you're in such a sorry state tonight?"

Actually, I wasn't that badly hurt; I just got a cut on my head and some minor injuries.

"Senior brother, stop fooling around. I'm just faking it to scare people. My actual combat ability is terrible."

I clasped my hands in thanks and said, "Thank you for your support, senior brother and brothers. I'll treat you to a late-night snack."

Nan Batian shook his head and asked me, "Are you one of Niu Lao Er's men?"

I thought for a moment, then pulled Nan Batian aside and whispered about this grudge.

Nan Batian understood and pondered, "There's no need to hide anything. Just deal with that Liang Sanjie. I guarantee Niu Lao Er won't dare to interfere."

I forced a smile: "I want to send Sister Liang in there for a makeover, so she can become a useful member of society. So, I don't want to alert her now; I'll wait and see..."

The last time I dealt with Kuai Dafa, I used someone else to do my dirty work.

This is still the safest approach, and it's very effective in cracking down on such crimes!

"Waiting a bit is fine, but..."

Nan Batian pointed at me: "You need to be careful that Niu Lao Er doesn't know our relationship and brings people to kill you."

I nodded: "I understand."

As they were talking, He Tiantian rushed over from the hospital, bringing gauze, disinfectant, and ointment.

I got a quick bandage done in the small restaurant.

Looking in the mirror, I saw blood seeping through the gauze on my head, making it look like a used sanitary napkin.

unlucky!

I borrowed a baseball cap from the restaurant owner and put it on my head; at least it looked a bit better.

Nan Batian asked me if I wanted him to take me back to Sanlichuan.

I asked He Tiantian, "What are you planning to do?"

"I..." He Tiantian hesitated, unsure of what to do.

She definitely wouldn't dare go back to her rented room in Wuwei Lane now.

"Come with me to Sanlichuan, we'll talk about it later." I rolled my eyes and hailed a taxi.

He Tiantian lowered her head and got into the car with me.

Nan Batian was worried, so he followed me in his car for a while before we parted ways.

Throughout the journey, He Tiantian didn't utter a single word, only sighing.

I ignored her and called Principal Chen of Yingcai School, asking Xue Meihua to answer the phone.

Xue Meihua was still awake and asked me what was wrong.

"Meihua, He Tiantian will be staying at your place tonight. Please make the arrangements." I hung up the phone.

He Tiantian breathed a sigh of relief and nodded to me: "Thank you, Wang Yaozu, but... I'm afraid Sister Liang will still bother me."

"Now you know fear?"

I patted He Tiantian's head: "Your uncle is the director of the hospital. Can he take care of you and help you resolve this matter?"

He Tiantian shook her head: "No, my uncle is an honest and simple man."

"Then go back to your hometown. Dongguan isn't a good place either; you won't make money there." I sighed.

Dongguan is full of opportunities, but that has nothing to do with temporary workers like He Tiantian.

Why live in fear when you can find work back home?

"Then...why don't you go back?" He Tiantian asked me in return.

"Strange, why should I go back?"

I was baffled, so I chuckled and said, "I'm doing very well here. I have money and women, so why would I want to go back?"

He Tiantian was silent for a moment: "So, your life goals and ideals are just money and women?"
