A life of success begins with being a landlord.

I nodded and beckoned Sister Li to come downstairs.

Dao Zixiong took a few steps forward, then suddenly turned back, looking at me with a sinister gaze: "Brother, that guy Yuan Bing got arrested, didn't you arrange that on purpose?"

"Brother Xiong, it was just a coincidence, I didn't arrange it on purpose."

I raised my hand: "Take a look at Yuan Bing first, and I'll explain to you later."

Dao Zixiong snorted and quickly went downstairs.

I estimate that Dao Zaixiong's patience has reached its limit and he could explode at any moment.

Because today, Yuan Guizhen didn't give him face, and neither did I.

Li Hanwen and his wife also went downstairs trembling, their legs shaking.

Outside the hotel, I called Zhang Bazi: "I'm in front of the hotel, come over."

Two minutes later, a taxi pulled up.

The car door opened, and one of Zhang Bazi's brothers got out and tossed me a bag: "Brother Zu, the evidence recording of Yuan Bing hiring someone to commit murder, along with his confession, are all here."

I nodded and took the bag.

Another bread truck pulled up, the door opened, and someone got out.

A man covered in dirt, with a bruised and swollen face.

"Erbing!" Yuan Guizhen rushed over to the man as soon as she saw him, crying, "Erbing, Erbing!"

The taxi and the van then quickly drove away, disappearing in a cloud of dust.

I didn't say anything, but handed Daozai Xiong a cigarette.

Dao Zaixiong refused the cigarette, gritted his teeth, and said in a low voice, "You guys are all so arrogant, aren't you? You all publicly ask me to mediate, but behind my back you're pulling guns!"

"Brother Xiong, I almost died the night before last. My car was stuck in the road and smashed to pieces."

I pointed at Yuan Guizhen: "She hired someone to kill me. The hitman chased me with a shotgun, and I jumped into the river barefoot to escape. Do you know that? The night before last, tell me, did this old shrew really want to reconcile with us?"

"The night before last?"

Dao Zixiong counted on his fingers, calculating the time: "Damn, they called me the day before yesterday afternoon, saying they promised they wouldn't cause any trouble!"

I nodded: "Fortunately, I saw through this old shrew early on and was careful in everything I did. With God's blessing, I escaped death."

"Damn, they really dare to kill people! They're even more ruthless than me!"

Dao Zixiong sighed and called to Yuan Guizhen, "Sister-in-law Yuan, stop wailing and come inside to talk!"

Tiger waved his hand, and with a few people, helped Yuan Guizhen and Yuan Bing back to their private room on the second floor.

Li Jie and I returned to the private room, each of us remaining calm.

We've already won this game.

Now, I am the butcher, and he is the fish.

Do whatever you want with me, that's my business!

Yuan Bing was beaten to the point of near death, weak and powerless, and collapsed to the ground.

"I'm calling the police!"

Yuan Guizhen gritted her teeth and pointed at me: "Wang Yaozu, how dare you kidnap my brother, illegally detain him, and beat him... I'm calling the police and making sure you rot in jail!"

"Call the police! Anyone who doesn't is a coward!" I said with a smile, patting the cloth bag beside me.

"Regarding the evidence of your hiring of a hitman, the recording of the communication between Yuan Bing and the hitman, and Yuan Bing's confession, I have arranged for a smuggler to send them to the Hong Kong government and hand them over to Attorney Hu. Even if you don't report it to the police, I will still prosecute you in Hong Kong. The prosecution process has already begun, and you will receive a court notice soon."

"you--!"

"I've done a lot more work; let me tell you all about it." I sneered, tossing over a few photos:

"This is evidence collected by Attorney Hu through legal channels. Your address in your hometown of Chaoshan, your address in Hong Kong, your company address, your family members, and your social relationships are all clearly recorded."

What for? To threaten you, of course!

You can hire someone to kill me, and I can hire someone to deal with you too!

"I don't do anything. I'm a law-abiding citizen, and I do everything according to the law." I lit a cigarette.

"You're in big trouble now. Deceiving my sister's feelings, tricking her into having a son, and then taking him away was just a moral issue; now, you've hired someone to kill her, and the evidence is irrefutable—that's no longer a moral issue!"

Dao Zixiong glared at Yuan Guizhen: "Isn't this getting more and more out of hand? Isn't it fun?"

"Brother Xiong, they never intended to give you face from the start. They were just trying to appease you, lull me into a false sense of security, and pin my hopes on the assassin." I walked over and lifted Li Hanwen's chin. "Right, Boss Li?"

Li Hanwen was so frightened that he took two steps back, his back against the wall: "I...I didn't know about these things, I really didn't know..."

"It's not too late to know now. When I go to jail, I'll know why."

I stepped back, pulling Sister Li along, and said, "That old shrew is untrustworthy; we don't need to say anything more. See you in the Hong Kong court. Goodbye!"

Sister Li nodded, then spat at Yuan Guizhen: "You old shrew!"

"Ali, don't go... We can talk this out..." Li Hanwen pleaded pitifully.

I turned around and laughed, "Can we talk this out? Then let me tell you properly, can you divorce that old woman Yuan Guizhen and marry my sister Li with a grand wedding? My sister is much prettier than that old woman, and she seems happier."

Li Hanwen glanced at Yuan Guizhen and was too frightened to utter a sound.

"Marry me? He's dreaming." Sister Li sneered, "That old turtle only deserves a toad!"

Yuan Guizhen opened her mouth, wanting to curse, but then held back.

Dao Zixiong frowned: "Brother, Sister Li, please don't leave yet. Let me say a few words, okay?"

I stopped and nodded.

Dao Zixiong pointed at Yuan Guizhen: "This is outrageous! You've gone too far! You tricked me into coming to mediate while simultaneously arranging for assassins to carry out your plan. What do you take me for? If we weren't relatives, none of you would be leaving Dongguan today!"

Li Hanwen forced a smile, but it looked worse than crying: "Ah Xiong, it's not like that..."

"The evidence is conclusive, and you still want to lie to me?"

Enraged, Dao Zixiong kicked away the chair next to him and roared, "You really like playing games, huh? If you keep causing trouble, I'll side with Hu Xiaoli and Wang Yaozu and play along to the very end!"

Yuan Guizhen panicked and grabbed Dao Zixiong's hand in a fawning manner: "Axiong, we're relatives, your sister..."

"If it weren't for my sister's sake, I would have stopped caring long ago!"

Dao Zixiong shook off his hand: "Sign the contract now, transferring 27 buildings to Hu Xiaoli. Hu Xiaoli will give up Liangliang and withdraw her lawsuit. From now on, you will have no further connection!"

Yuan Guizhen glared at me and Sister Li for a long time before finally gritting her teeth and nodding: "Fine, I'll sign the contract."

Dao Zixiong nodded and looked at me: "Brother, you write the contract, and we'll sign and put our fingerprints on it."

"No way!" I shook my head decisively.

"What, you've changed your mind?" Dao Zaixiong's face darkened.

"Brother Xiong, I haven't changed my mind."

I pointed at Yuan Bing and said, enunciating each word clearly, "Yuan Bing hired someone to kill me. I narrowly escaped death the night before last. How are we going to settle this score? The car you gave me was smashed to pieces. Who's going to repair it? I also spent a million to buy evidence from the hitman. Who's going to pay for that?"

Yuan Guizhen suddenly sat down and burst into tears, crying, "Are you robbers? We've already given you the house, what more do you want?"

"I'm not a robber, you are! You hired someone to kill me, you murdered me for money!"

I sneered: "If the accounts from the night before last aren't settled, I won't accept Xiong Ge's suggestion. See you in court."
