A life of success begins with being a landlord.

"Don't misunderstand, I don't have the ability to kill you, nor do I want to." Looking at Kuai Dafa's terrified expression, I found it amusing.

It doesn't seem too difficult to really kill him.

But there's no need.

Kuai Dafa breathed a sigh of relief: "Then what do you mean by not letting me go?"

I paused for a moment, then said, "Your wife, your daughter Xiaoju, and your son Xiaopang came to Sanlichuan a few days ago. I let them stay in the old room 204 that Jin Ya Lao used to live in..."

"Oh? My wife and daughter are here?"

Kuai Dafa became nervous again, bowing deeply to me: "Brother Zu, I beg you, you can hit me or scold me, just don't hurt my wife and daughter. Xiaoju... she's still a child."

"You're talking nonsense!"

I flew into a rage, grabbing Kuai Dafa by the collar: "Do you think I'm as beastly as you?"

Kuai Dafa was afraid of being beaten, so he hurriedly begged for mercy.

I pushed Kuai Dafa away, gritting my teeth, and said, "Only a beast like you would do such a heinous thing. I'm disgusted by you and don't want you to leave because you're worse than an animal!"

When I came to Sanlichuan, I met a lot of scumbags.

Needless to say, Dao Zixiong was the first.

Then there's Kuai Dafa, and Chunyan's father, Lao Xia.

Kuai Dafa's inherent evil, his vulgarity and shamelessness, far surpasses that of Dao Zaixiong.

If Kuai Dafa had the power of Dao Zixiong, even the female mosquitoes of Sanlichuan would likely be unable to escape his clutches.

Kuai Dafa squatted down, covered his face and cried, "Brother Zu, you did the right thing. I've thought things through these past few days. I was wrong before... I will definitely be a better person from now on."

That bastard is putting on an act again.

You can't believe a single punctuation mark he says!

I kicked Kuai Dafa: "I'm bringing your wife and kids in right now. Think carefully about what you're going to say. If you dare say anything wrong, I'll make sure you never leave the house again."

"Brother Zu, when can I go out?" Kuai Dafa grabbed me.

"You'll be leaving in a week."

"Thank you so much, Brother Zu, I can finally go out..." Kuai Dafa cried tears of joy.

I patted Kuai Dafa on the shoulder and went out to greet Kuai Dasao.

Sister-in-law Kuai hurriedly came in with her daughter and son.

To prevent Kuai Da from making irresponsible remarks, I also went into the meeting room and watched coldly from the side.

"Wife, Xiaoju, Xiaopang..." Kuai Dafa said, tears streaming down his face. He patted his daughter's head and then hugged his son.

Xiaoju, now sensible, was crying on the side.

I sneered, "Kuai Dafa, with your skills, if you used them for good, your wife and children would be living a good life long ago. It's a pity you're too reckless, giving up a good life."

To be honest, Kuai Dafa is very capable.

Bold, thick-skinned, indomitable, and full of clever ideas.

If this kind of person were to focus on business, they would definitely become a big boss; they could make a fortune even selling candied hawthorns.

Unfortunately, his mind was always on women. Back in Sanlichuan, he spent every day at the hair salon, thinking about Sister Li, Sister Ling, Chunyan, and any woman with even a little bit of beauty!

"Brother Zu, after I get out, I will definitely focus on doing business and never cause trouble again."

Kuai Dafa wiped his nose and said to his sister-in-law, "Brother Zu is a good man. You two should follow his arrangements these next few days. I'll be out in a week. Then we'll go home together."

Sister-in-law Kuai sighed, "If it weren't for the landlord's help this time, we wouldn't have been able to find you... Just stay put and wait a few days before we talk about it again."

Kuai Dafa nodded repeatedly.

Ten minutes later, I took Sister-in-law Kuai, Xiaoju, and Xiaopang out.

Kuai Dafa was taken back and made to continue working.

Before leaving, Old Zhang shook my hand and said, "Brother, remember my phone number. Just call me next time you come over. Chief Lin is very busy and is often not here."

I thanked him and wrote down Lao Zhang's number.

Old Zhang thought I was a full-time employee of the Sanlichuan Institute, so he was very polite and saw me all the way to the door.

I hailed a taxi and took Sister-in-law Kuai and her family straight to the nearby post office.

These days, most remittances are still made through the post office; not many people have bank cards.

Sister-in-law Kuai can read a few words, so I asked her to take out her ID card and wire money to her at her hometown address.

This way, the funds will be safe. The remittance slip will arrive by the time Sister-in-law Kuai takes the train home.

I gave her 22,000 yuan and asked Sister-in-law Kuai to split it into two remittance slips.

Sister-in-law Kuai was puzzled.

I laughed and said, "When you get back, if Kuai Dafa presses you too hard, just say I only gave you ten thousand. Keep the other twelve thousand safe and save it for your daily life."

"Landlord, you're such a kind person, you even thought of this for me." Sister-in-law Kuai almost cried again.

By the time the remittance was completed, it was already noon.

Back in Sanlichuan for lunch, I suggested to Sister-in-law Kuai, "You'd better go back tomorrow. Once you're home, withdraw the remittance and settle things. Don't worry about Kuai Dafa; he'll definitely be out in a week."

Sister-in-law Kuai nodded repeatedly.

I called Gao Jianfeng over and asked him to accompany Sister-in-law Kuai to Gangzhou to buy train tickets in the afternoon.

Sister-in-law Kuai stood up: "Landlord, I'll be leaving this afternoon. Thank you for helping me this time. In the future... if you ever visit my hometown, please contact me. I'll treat you to a meal."

I nodded and smiled: "There's a chance."

After the meal, I bought some bread, eight-treasure porridge, instant noodles, and sausages from the small general store next to Fatty's and gave them to Sister-in-law Kuai: "Sister-in-law Kuai, take these with you for Xiaoju and Xiaopang to eat on the road."

Sister-in-law Kuai was deeply moved and pulled Xiaoju over, saying, "Xiaoju, please kowtow to Uncle. We... really, really..."

"No, no, no, this is all Kuai Dafa's money, not mine."

I quickly waved my hand, told Gao Jianfeng to take good care of Sister-in-law Kuai, and turned to go to work.

There were no customers when we first opened in the afternoon.

Everyone was chatting.

I had just walked in when I got slapped on the butt.

Shen Yuerong grinned and gave a thumbs up: "Brother Zu, you're awesome! You took on four opponents last night!"

The other supervisors, waiters, and security guards all flattered him with smiles: "Brother Zu is awesome, the number one expert in Sanlichuan. No wonder Brother Xiong invited you here."

I said smugly, "Sure thing, sure thing, I'll teach you a few tricks another day!"

As they were talking, supervisor Xie Xia arrived at work with several girls.

Seeing me bragging, Xie Xia slapped me on the butt: "Is Brother Zu really that awesome, taking on four people at once? Come on, let's have a match right here."

I turned to look at Xie Xia: "A good man doesn't argue with a woman."

The difference in strength between men and women is too great. If I were to fight you, I would flatten you, roll you into a ball, and squeeze you until you pee.

"You're just bragging, aren't you?"

Xie Xia waved her hand: "Xiao Fang, Xiao Mei, Xiao Hong, Xiao Lian, go! If you flip over Brother Zu, you'll each get a hundred; if you pull down Brother Zu's pants, you'll each get two hundred!"

"Feed, feed him!"

I was shocked and tried to run away, but it was too late.

Four seductive women stepped forward, grabbing my neck, waist, thighs, and pulling at my belt, completely entangled me.

I may possess the strength to uproot mountains, but trapped in this gentle snare, I am doomed.

Xie Xia provided another assist, leaping up and lunging straight at him.

I fell to the ground along with several female assassins, and was immediately pinned down by a dozen or so snow-white and delicate hands.

Shen Yuerong and the others clapped and laughed, "Go, Brother Zu! Hang in there! Don't let men down!"

I'm cheering you on? My ancestral hall is almost lost!

That vixen Xie Xia, every move she makes is aimed at my vital points, straight for the area three inches below my navel, determined to make me lose face in this world.

"Hey, hey, hey, I surrender! I surrender!"

I desperately pressed my legs together, grabbed my belt, and shouted in surrender: "Sisters, please have mercy! I surrender! I'll treat you to midnight snacks!"

This was my most humiliating battle; I had no way to use my strength.

If I were to really resist violently, I'm afraid these little girls would suffer serious injuries.

They were just joking around, playing around. I can't just kill them, can I?

Moreover, Xie Xia can go crazy and resort to despicable tricks like a monkey stealing peaches, but I can't; I can't steal their peaches.

I haven't reached that level of sleazy behavior yet.

Hearing that I surrendered and they would treat me to a late-night snack, Xie Xia finally spared me, laughing and saying, "Since you've surrendered, we'll let you go."

Shen Yuerong grinned mischievously: "But Brother Zu hasn't surrendered his gun yet. Let's wait until he surrenders his gun and bullets first."

Damn it, bad guys have infiltrated our pure and innocent Jin嗓子 (Jin嗓子 is a brand name for a company) employee team!

I'm not allowed to just surrender; you also have to hand over your guns and bullets?

The group of female assassins released me with smiles on their faces.

I scrambled to my feet, looking utterly disheveled, straightened my clothes, and gritted my teeth: "You shouldn't have come to Jin Sangzi, you should have gone to Liangshan. You're all like Sun Erniang."

"What's so special about Sun Erniang?" Xie Xia puffed out her chest, raised her eyebrows, and said with a wicked smile, "Sun Erniang uses a knife to kill people, but we sisters only need to wiggle our hips and twist our waists to kill people."

Laugh out loud.

I concede defeat and beg for mercy.

Once a woman turns bad, no man can ever stand up to her!

Suddenly, everyone's expression changed, and the laughter abruptly stopped.

I turned my head and saw that it was Daozai Xiong.

"What are you all doing, laughing and joking?" Dao Zai Xiong glared and scanned the crowd.

Xie Xia and the others were so frightened that they stood with their hands at their sides, not daring to look directly at Dao Zai Xiong.

Shen Yuerong forced a smile and said, "It's nothing, Xiong-ge, we were just joking..."

"Brother Xiong, it's nothing." I walked over and said with a smile, "I was just bored and told everyone a joke."

Dao Zixiong nodded: "Don't indulge these gossipy women, they'll bully you."

"No, everyone is fine."

I smiled and led Daozixiong to the office on the fifth floor.

After climbing only five floors, Dao Zai Xiong was already out of breath and sweating.

That bastard has long since been ruined by wine and women, prematurely aging.

"Brother Xiong, are you here to pick up that thing?"

I took a small bottle of eye drops from my backpack and solemnly placed it on the table: "This stuff can't be used carelessly; a slight mistake could kill someone..."

Generally speaking, cartilage powder is safe.

I said that on purpose to scare Daozaixiong, hoping he would back down and not use my stuff.

"People will die?" Sure enough, Dao Zai Xiong frowned.

"Yes, if someone has a poor constitution, a bad heart, or a bad liver, they will die."

I continued to scare Dao Zai Xiong: "Women can't resist this kind of drug either, so we need to be especially careful."

Dao Zixiong picked up the eye drop bottle, hesitated for a while, and then put it down: "Since it's so troublesome, I won't use it. It wouldn't be good if someone died."

Thank goodness!

I breathed a sigh of relief and asked in a low voice, "Brother Xiong, who are you going to deal with?"

Unexpectedly, Dao Zaixiong suddenly grabbed the medicine bottle again, turned around and left: "I'll tell you after this is over."

"Brother Xiong!"

I quickly stopped Dao Zixiong and took out a wet towel wrapped in a plastic bag: "This is the antidote. Make sure you have the antidote ready before using the Softening Powder, otherwise you might get poisoned yourself."
