A life of success begins with being a landlord.

Upon hearing this, Dao Zai Xiong chuckled and said, "Sang Kun, if you're capable enough to get Brother Wang to work for you, I'll call you Big Brother from now on."

I knew Sang Kun was joking, and with a touch of malicious mischief, so I shook my head and laughed:

"I'm too stupid to do anything big, I can only do small business. In a few years, when I'm smarter, I'll go find Brother Kun to make a living."

Sang Kun laughed heartily, then turned and left.

Back in the private room, they continued drinking. Daozai Xiong then discussed with Sang Kun how to pay for the 1,800.

Dao Zixiong requested payment in installments, divided into four stages according to the project's progress.

The two argued for a long time and came to a mediocre conclusion.

Having achieved his goal, Sang Kun, along with his men, rose to take their leave.

Dao Zixiong and the others also left together, walking out of the hotel in a group.

But just as I stepped out of the hotel, I encountered a person walking towards me with a cane.

It's Ah Qiang, one of Dao Zai Xiong's men!

The once-top henchman is now limping, thin, and hairless, and has lost all his energy.

I visited him in the hospital last time and he seemed to be doing well, but now... he seems even weaker.

"Brother Xiong, it's me..."

Ah-Qiang came up to Dao-Zai-Xiong and grinned.

"Qiangzai, what are you doing here?" Daozai Xiong frowned slightly.

"I'm discharged from the hospital, so of course I'll follow Brother Xiong and make a living."

Ah Qiang smiled, looked at everyone, and nodded, saying, "Oh, everyone's here. What a coincidence."

I remained silent, feeling that Ah Qiang's appearance and the things he said at this moment... were a bit off!

"Brother Qiang, I miss you so much!"

Nan Batian saw A-Qiang, opened his arms and laughed loudly: "Who chopped my Brother Qiang like this? Damn it, do you want to live? If you don't give Brother Qiang face, at least give Brother Xiong face! You're really lawless! I was planning to learn a few moves from Brother Qiang, but he's half-dead now, how can I learn?"

Ah Qiang wasn't going to back down, glancing sideways at Nan Batian: "Little Nan, when I have some free time, I'll teach you a couple of moves, so you don't get captured alive again and get beaten black and blue, making me lose face."

These two dislike each other, yet neither can get rid of the other.

Their relationship is as delicate as that of Daozai Xiong and Sang Kun.

"Brother Qiang, Brother Nan, you two should say less."

I stood in the middle and nudged Nan Batian: "Go back to sleep early. I'll ask you to box another day when you're free."

Both of them are my friends, and I'm caught in the middle, which is really difficult!

Nan Batian didn't leave, glancing at me sideways: "What's the rush? I'll stay here and watch the show to sober up."

Sang Kun found it amusing, took two steps back, and genuinely crossed his arms to watch the spectacle.

Dao Zixiong glared at A-Qiang: "When did you stop eating? Go back first, and I'll arrange something for you!"

"Brother Xiong, you're not going to send me to the crematorium, are you?"

Ah Qiang didn't leave. He raised his voice and laughed, "Brother Xiong, my brother is dead, and I'm a cripple now. You haven't given me the three million in dividends you promised. Why don't you take pity on me, give me my dividends, and send me back to my hometown to die? I'll take the money and leave, and I'll never dare to bother Brother Xiong again in this lifetime."

I was surprised to hear that.

Judging from this, it seems that Daozaixiong cheated Ahqiang out of his three million share of the profits, so Ahqiang came to collect the debt!

"You son of a bitch, are you trying to mess with me?"

Enraged, Dao Zai Xiong stepped forward and kicked him.

boom!

Ah Qiang lost his balance and tumbled headfirst, rolling a long way away.

Still seething with anger, Daozai Xiong ordered me, "Brother Wang, cripple that traitor Ah Qiang!"

Of course I wouldn't cripple Ah Qiang, so I silently stepped forward, ready to help him up.

"stop!"

With a loud shout, Sang Kun jumped in front of A-Qiang and pointed at Dao Zai Xiong: "Brother Xiong, isn't that a bit unfair?"

Nan Batian chuckled coldly, standing beside Sang Kun: "As the saying goes, 'When the cunning rabbit dies, the hunting dog is cooked.' Brother Xiong, are you planning to beat the dog, eat its meat, and make a hot pot?"

Dao Zixiong's face was dark, his mouth twitched, and he looked extremely ugly.

Ah Qiang had already managed to stand up, wiped the blood from his mouth, and cursed:

"Sang Kun, Nan Batian, get out of my way. My business with Xiong Ge is none of your concern. I'm willing to let Xiong Ge cripple me."

Snapped!

"Damn it, you're biting the hand that feeds you!"

Enraged, Sang Kun turned around and slapped A-Qiang across the face.

Nan Batian raised his foot to kick A Qiang, but then held back: "You don't know what's good for you, you deserve what you get today!"

"Anan, let's go!"

Enraged, Sang Kun led his men away.

Ah Qiang wiped the blood from his mouth again, still grinning at Dao Zai Xiong: "Brother Xiong, Ah Qiang didn't embarrass you, did he?"

A wave of sadness washed over me.

I admire Ah Qiang, and I also sympathize with him.

I suddenly remembered a line from a martial arts novel: "The martial arts world is a man-eating beast that will devour all heroes."

Although Ah Qiang was strong and resilient, he was now walking with a limp, like an old man on his deathbed...

"You've got guts, you didn't embarrass me." Dao Zixiong's expression softened slightly: "Whatever you have to say, we'll talk about it when we get back."

"No, Xiong-ge, let's make things clear here."

Ah-Qiang stubbornly blocked Dao-Zai-Xiong's path, sighing, "Brother Xiong, I won't say three million anymore, just give me two million, and I'll disappear immediately."

"Two million, can you take it back?" Dao Zai Xiong sneered, took out his phone, and started making a call.

I knew that Dao Zai Xiong was going to hurt A Qiang, so I winked at A Qiang, telling him to leave quickly!

Asking Dao Zaixiong for two million is like asking a tiger for its skin.

"Brother Xiong, you should at least give me a million!"

Ah Qiang yelled, as if he had used all his strength: "I've followed you for three years, I know you can kill me. But think it over, even if I die, you might not be able to sleep peacefully!"

"Are you threatening me?" Dao Zaixiong's eyes revealed a murderous intent.

"This is not a threat, just stating the facts."

Ah Qiang laughed, meeting Dao Zai Xiong's gaze: "Looking like this now, I'm not afraid of dying. If Brother Xiong wants to kill me, go ahead."

Nie stepped forward, snatched Dao Zixiong's phone, and whispered, "Give him one million."

Dao Zixiong pondered for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, I'll give you one million. Ah Qiang, leave your bank account number."

"No, I want cash." Ah Qiang smiled and shook his head.

Dao Zixiong glared: "I don't have that much cash right now!"

"Tomorrow is fine too." Ah Qiang pointed at me: "Brother Xiong, you give the money to Wang Yaozu tomorrow, and Wang Yaozu will give it to me."

I couldn't help but frown. What the hell are you doing trying to get close to me?

I don't want to get involved in this dog-eat-dog situation!

Ah Qiang looked at me and smiled, "Brother Zu, if you do me a favor, I'll be grateful to you for the rest of my life."

I shook my head: "I can help, but you have to talk to Xiong Ge first. I can only give it to you if Xiong Ge provides the money."

Ah-Qiang looked at Dao-Zai-Xiong again: "Brother Xiong, give me an answer!"

"Alright, tomorrow morning, I'll give Brother Wang one million to deliver to you, and we'll be even." Dao Zai Xiong nodded, beckoned to Nie and the others, and strode away.

I glanced at Ah Qiang, shook my head, and also prepared to leave.

"Brother Zu, wait a moment." Ah Qiang called out to me.

I had no choice but to stop and sigh, "Brother Qiang, why are you dragging me into your business with Brother Xiong? I'm very busy."
