A life of success begins with being a landlord.

I shook my head: "They must be from out of town. There are a lot of out-of-towners these days, wandering around everywhere. Otherwise, Hongxing Village wouldn't have a patrol team."

Ding Zhili chimed in, "I also think it's getting more and more chaotic. It's even more chaotic here than in Hong Kong."

Sister Li laughed: "Who cares? Anyway, it'll be safer for us to hide in Hongxing Village and act like cowards. My godfather said, whether it's black or white, once we're in Hongxing Village, we have to behave ourselves!"

People with godfathers have a lot of confidence.

I wish I had a godfather like that!

A few minutes later, I arrived at Sanlichuan and headed straight for Jin Sangzi KTV.

The person who committed the attack had already fled, and Lei Zi and the others had gone to the hospital, leaving behind only a mess and some bloodstains.

Inside the KTV, only a few waiters were present, whispering amongst themselves.

"What happened?" I went over to find out: "Brother Xiong asked me to come. He'll be here soon."

The waiter recognized me and reported the situation to me.

A dozen or so people from out of town came in in three groups to sing, pretending not to know each other.

When it was time to pay, the three people in front of me suddenly pulled out their cards and tried to grab the cashier.

Jin Biao and Lei Ziliangzai happened to be there as well, and they started fighting on the spot.

A dozen or so men swarmed forward, slashed Jin Biao and his companions, stole over ten thousand yuan, and fled.

Judging from their accents, those people are from western Guangdong.

I asked again, "Are Jin Biao and the others alright? They won't die, will they?"

The waiter shook his head: "Jin Biao fainted on the spot, I don't know what will happen to him. Lei Zi and Liang Zai should be fine."

As they were talking, Dao Zixiong and Nie Suo arrived together.

Nie, along with many colleagues, began to cordon off the scene, take photos for evidence, and record eyewitness statements...

Just then, Liu Changying called Dao Zixiong and said that his brother-in-law, Jin Biao, had hung up!

I was startled, and a chill ran down my spine.

Life is so fragile.

A perfectly healthy young man, suddenly gone!

Liu Changying is also in a bad situation this time. His brother-in-law is dead. How is he going to explain this to his wife?

Dao Zixiong gritted his teeth and assured Liu Changying, "Don't worry, I will definitely find those thugs and avenge your brother-in-law!"

After personally inspecting the scene, Director Nie waved and invited me and Daozai Xiong to get in the car to talk.

Once in the car, Nie sighed, "This doesn't seem like a robbery, more like a show of force to seize territory. There's a guy in western Guangdong called 'Five-Clawed Pig,' he's really powerful. I heard that Hengjie Sangkun has connections with him..."

Dao Zai Xiong roared in fury: "Is this Sang Kun's doing again?"

"Definitely not."

Nie shook his head: "Sang Kun is now essentially a partner with us in developing Peninsula Slope. We just finalized it tonight, why would he cause trouble?"

Dao Zixiong gritted his teeth: "This matter definitely can't be left like this. Otherwise, our entertainment center won't be able to stay in business."

New talents emerge in every generation, so even the bigwigs are on edge; if they don't move forward, they fall behind!

Director Nie glanced back at me and said, "Brother Wang, go to the Second Hospital and comfort Liu Changying and Jin Biao's family. Tell them we are apprehending the murderer."

I nodded and got out of the car.

After watching the commotion, Sister Li returned to Hongxing Village under the escort of Gao Jianfeng and the old squad leader.

I took a taxi to the Second Hospital to visit Liu Changying.

The hospital lobby was bustling with activity; people were crying and shouting, and some were even rolling around on the floor.

Jin Biao was also an only child, and his death at a young age was a devastating blow to his family.

Liu Changying sat in the corner, a woman with disheveled hair tearing at him and yelling, "I told you not to run a KTV, but you wouldn't listen! Now look what happened, you've ruined my brother's life!"

"How did I know this would happen?" Liu Changying stared wide-eyed.

Seeing this, I didn't dare go over to offer my condolences.

Going there now would be asking for trouble, wouldn't it?

Liangzi and Leizi's men recognized me and reported to me: "Brother Zu, Jin Sangzi's Brother Biao is dead. Brother Leizi and Brother Liang should be fine; they're treating their wounds."

I nodded and solemnly gave the instructions: "Take good care of Lei Zi and Liang Zai, do everything you can to save them, at all costs!"

Actually, Liangzai and Leizi's life or death has little to do with me and has no impact on my life.

My relationship with them wasn't that good either.

Liu Changying also saw me and waved for me to come over.

"Brother Liu, please accept my condolences." I patted Liu Changying on the shoulder to express my deepest sympathy and sincere condolences.

"Thank you." Liu Changying nodded, then asked me in a low voice, "What did Xiong Ge say?"

"Brother Xiong said that he would never let this go and that he would definitely avenge Jin Biao."

"That's good..." Liu Changying sighed.

I sighed along with Liu Changying. At that moment, sighing was the best way to chat; saying anything else was pointless.

Twenty minutes later, Director Nie arrived with the officers from the branch office.

This is a murder case, and given Nie's influence, the level of importance attached to it is different.

I felt relieved and went back to my company to sleep.

It was already 4 a.m.!

At eight o'clock in the morning, A-Qiang called to ask if I was up yet.

I knew that Ah Qiang was pressing for that million, so I told him the truth:

"Last night, Jin Sangzi in Sanlichuan was robbed, and Jin Biao was also stabbed to death. Dao Zixiong is probably in a bad mood today... If he asks me to go get the money, I'll go. If he doesn't say anything, I can't push him."

Ah Qiang was also stunned. After a long silence, he asked, "Who did it?"

"I don't know, they're supposedly from out of town."

"Okay, I'll check again later." Ah Qiang hung up the phone.

I also got up and washed up.

In our yard, there is a public water feature with running water.

Everyone washes their face, brushes their teeth, and does their laundry here, which is quite convenient.

Sister Li had just gotten up and was brushing her teeth. When she saw me, she moved aside and asked, "Have you caught the murderer yet?"

"I've got a chicken neck!" I shook my head.

They cut and ran, why would you wait to catch them?

Sister Li bumped into me with her buttocks tilting to the side, rolled her eyes, and said, "You're getting worse and worse, daring to swear at your older sister?"

"Sorry, I've been corrupted by Daozai Xiong." I grinned.

After Sister Li finished washing up, she patted my bottom and said, "By the way, I'd like to buy two small wolfhounds to keep in our yard, is that okay? That way it'll be safer."

I brushed my teeth and nodded, saying, "No problem. We'll buy one male and one female. A male and female pair will make guarding the gate less tiring."

boom!

Sister Li kicked me in the butt: "You little brat, you never say anything serious again."

"Ah..." I screamed, covering my buttocks with my hand. "Sister Li, I have hemorrhoids! You kicked them open!"

Sister Li chuckled: "You big liar, you have hemorrhoids at such a young age? Take your pants off, I need to check your license plate!"

Erxia happened to be walking out of the warehouse and was taken aback when she heard this:

"Sister Li, what are you doing? In broad daylight, you want Wang Yaozu to take off his pants to check his license plate? We're a legitimate company, a legitimate organization. You need to be mindful of your image!"

I chuckled and said, "Yeah, Sister Li is the chairperson of a legitimate company now, and she's still being so handsy!"

"You two bastards, how dare you talk back! I, the chairman, fire you!"

Sister Li was furious. She took a glass of water and was about to throw it at me and Erxia.

Erxia hid behind me, using me as a shield, and chuckled, "Talking back? That was Wang Yaozu's doing, wasn't it? I certainly didn't. Wang Yaozu, how dare you talk back to Sister Li, you're so bold..."

That doesn't sound quite right, does it?

But I have no evidence.

Ding Zhili also came over and called out, "Brother Zu, I'm about to start refining silver. Want to come and take a look?"
