A life of success begins with being a landlord.

I sighed, "Don't even mention it, Senior Brother, I got bitten by a dog."

"What? Daozai Xiong is going to bite you?" Nan Batian laughed loudly, "That's perfect, you've come to Hengjie, I'll show you how to hang out."

"It's not Dao Zaixiong, he's from our hometown!"

I briefly explained the situation, then muttered to myself, "I have no idea who betrayed me!"

Nan Batian pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Brother, I know who betrayed you. I'll tell you when you arrive. Let me make some arrangements here to entertain your friend Liang Laosi."

"Thank you, Senior Brother!"

I hung up the phone and frowned.

I don't even know who tipped off Liang Laosi. How would Nan Batian know?

Unless he is a god, like Master Zhongyun, who can calculate!

Hengjie Street is very lively at night.

In comparison, the prosperity here far surpasses that of Sanlichuan.

Even the beautiful women on the street look a cut above the rest.

But I wasn't interested in looking at pretty girls. I drove up to the entrance of the Blue Sky Ice Rink and quickly got out of the car.

"Hey, you can't park here!"

Two security guards from the skating rink approached, looking menacing.

But as soon as we met, the two security guards recognized me and quickly smiled apologetically, "Brother Zu, it's you."

Sister Li gave a thumbs up and chuckled softly, "Brother, you're really something! You've got a lot going for you in Hengjie!"

"Sister Li is even more awesome and has an even bigger presence in the industry!"

I chuckled, lit a cigarette, and scanned the area in front of the door, searching for Liang Laosi.

Gao Jianfeng and Ye Xiaotian arrived and stood a little distance to the left and right of me and Sister Li.

Nan Batian walked over from the skating rink, sizing up Sister Li: "Brother, this is...?"

"This is my older sister, Hu Xiaoli. This is my friend, Erxia." I introduced everyone: "Nan Batian, Brother Nan."

Sister Li greeted him with a smile: "Hello, Brother Nan, thank you for taking care of my little brother."

"You're welcome." Nan Batian nodded and smiled, then suddenly glared at Gao Jianfeng.

Gao Jianfeng was surprised and took a step back, ready for battle.

"This big, clumsy guy... I think I've seen him before."

Nan Batian suddenly remembered and pointed at Gao Jianfeng: "Last time in Sanlichuan, it was you, wasn't it? You pinned me to the ground and almost broke my arm!"

"Senior Brother, stop joking around, we're all on the same side." I pulled Gao Jianfeng over: "Apologize to Brother Nan."

It happened a long time ago. Nan Batian and his men ambushed me for the first time in Sanlichuan. It was Gao Jianfeng who reminded me, which is how I escaped.

Moreover, on that day, Sergeant Gao Jianfeng and I captured Nan Batian alive, making Nan Batian and Sang Kun lose face.

Gao Jianfeng hurriedly apologized, nodding, "I'm sorry, Brother Nan, I didn't know you before. From now on, you're my boss, I'll rely on you for support."

He's improved; Gao Jianfeng has learned to say nice things now!

"I never take care of anyone unless you can beat me." Nan Batian pointed to the upper floor of the skating rink: "After we finish our business, I'll practice with you for a bit."

Gao Jianfeng was dumbfounded and didn't know how to answer. He just stared at me.

"It's okay, Brother Nan likes boxing. You can come and practice when you have time." I nodded.

He stood at the door and smoked a cigarette, but Liang Laosi still hadn't arrived.

Nan Batian beckoned to me, "Brother, take your older sister upstairs for tea. Since Liang Laosi is here, someone will naturally escort her up."

I nodded and led Sister Li and Erxia upstairs first.

After finishing his tea, Liang Laosi called to say he had arrived.

I went downstairs and went to the door to check.

It's only been a year since I last saw him, so I know Liang Laosi, he's still the same old guy.

He is 1.7 meters tall and has a slender build.

Back when we were studying in the county town, we were young and afraid of the four Liang brothers. We thought they were all like the gang leaders in Hong Kong and Taiwan movies, ruthless and omnipotent.

Now it seems he's just a little blondie!

If you put someone like Liang Laosi in Dongguan, he'd get robbed eight times a day, beaten seven times a day, and cursed as a bastard countless times!

Liang Laosi also brought along another person, who looked quite shrewd.

But Liang Laosi doesn't recognize me.

He hesitated before stepping forward and asked, "Excuse me, who is Wang Yaozu...?"

"I am Wang Yaozu."

I stared at Liang Laosi and sneered, "I know you. You punched the old folks at Nanshan Nursing Home and kicked the kindergarten in Beihai. You used to bully junior and senior high school students near our school gate, extorting a few yuan or a few packs of cigarettes, right?"

Behind me, the security guards at the skating rink burst into laughter.

Because even the young punks in Dongguan don't do things like bullying students!

Liang Laosi blushed: "Wang Yaozu, we're from the same hometown, can't you give me some face? Besides, we're here to talk about serious business, not the past."

"This all started in the past, and the past must be discussed!"

With a stern face, I turned around and raised my hand: "Please!"

Liang Laosi was about to step forward, but then stopped and raised his hand, saying, "Brother Zu, please go first."

I nodded and turned to go up the stairs.

Liang Laosi and his friend followed behind me.

Gao Jianfeng and Ye Xiaotian followed behind Liang Laosi and his companion without saying a word.

"Hello, Brother Zu!"

Once upstairs, a dozen or so of Nan Batian's henchmen stood in two rows, coldly watching Liang Laosi and his companion.

Liang Laosi was a little scared; his steps faltered and his calves trembled.

Nan Batian sat upright in his chair, coldly watching Liang Laosi and his companion.

When the two approached, Nan Batian stood up and stared at Liang Laosi.

Liang Laosi, feigning composure, turned to me and asked, "Brother Zu, is this your boss, Xiong Ge from Sanlichuan?"

"No, this is my senior brother, Brother Nan." I nodded to Nan Batian: "Brother Nan, this is Liang Laosi, the boss of Wancheng."

Liang Laosi even adopted the etiquette of the underworld, clasping his hands in greeting: "Brother Nan, I'm counting on your help now that I'm here."

"No problem."

Nan Batian smiled insincerely and said calmly, "Brother, you've come alone to this meeting; you're a true man. People in Gangdong say, 'Only a fierce dragon will cross the river.' Since you dared to come to Dongguan, you must be a fierce dragon."

I couldn't help but sneer. A dragon? More like a worm!

Liang Laosi, realizing that Nan Batian was not someone to be trifled with, hesitated before saying, "Brother Nan, there's a small misunderstanding between me and Wang Yaozu. I'm here today to discuss this..."

"No rush! Wang Yaozu is my brother, I can make decisions about his affairs."

Nan Batian suddenly waved his hand, pointing to the boxing ring and saying, "How about this? I usually like to train my body, practicing punches and kicks. Since you're a fierce dragon, your skills must be quite good. Let's go up there and have a match. If you beat me, I'll do whatever you say!"

I remained silent and observed coldly.

Sister Li sat to one side drinking tea without saying a word.

Liang Laosi hurriedly waved his hand: "Brother Nan, this is your place, how dare I fight with you?"

"Brother Liang, what do you mean by this?"

Nan Batian hardened his face: "Are you saying I'm just sitting here bullying people? Or that my meager skills aren't enough to fight you?"

I glanced at Liang Laosi and said, "Liang Laosi, my senior brother is very principled and would never bully anyone. He wants you to go up and practice, so just go up. As long as you beat my senior brother, everything will be fine."
