A life of success begins with being a landlord.

If I were to throw knives, I could turn Liang Laosi into a hedgehog!

Mu Hu turned pale with fright and hurriedly waved his hands: "Brother Zu, I've never played with throwing knives before. Back in martial arts school, our instructor knew how to throw knives, but he wouldn't let us learn..."

Liang Laosi was even more frightened and shook his head, saying, "Brother Zu, please spare me. When I return to my hometown, I will never forget your kindness."

"You're threatening me, saying you'll deal with me back in my hometown, is that it?"

With a flick of my wrist, I launched the last throwing knife, which hit the bullseye.

The only thing Liang Laosi can rely on now is his bad reputation back in his hometown.

The reason he dared to come looking for me was simply because he thought that my hometown and Sister Li's hometown couldn't be moved, and that he could run away but not escape his home.

He can go to my and Sister Li's house to cause trouble and take revenge!

"No, no, no, Brother Zu has misunderstood."

Liang Laosi gave a forced smile: "Brother Zu is doing so well in Dongguan. When he returns to his hometown, he'll still be my boss!"

Mu Hu also clasped his hands in a fist salute to me: "Brother Zu, we are all from the same hometown, and we will meet again in the future. Please give us a chance."

I'm trying to figure out how to resolve this.

A series of clicking sounds came from behind me.

Looking back, Nan Batian was fiddling with two shotguns!

He disassembled the shotgun, pretended to clean it, and then loaded it with bullets one by one, giving one to me and one to Liang Laosi, laughing, "Stop playing with throwing knives, play with shotguns. Two people shooting at each other, whoever dies is unlucky."

I know that Nan Batian is trying to scare Liang Laosi.

After all, Liang Laosi, a petty hoodlum, had never seen the real thing.

The deterrent effect of a troll is no less than that of a mushroom bomb to ordinary people. Nan Batian brandishing this thing is to tell Liang Laosi that the truth is on our side!

I took the shotgun and aimed it at Liang Laosi.

Old Liang didn't dare to respond to the criticism. He stared blankly at me, cold sweat gradually seeping from his forehead.

"Stop playing around, bro."

Sister Li walked over and looked Liang Laosi up and down: "I am Hu Xiaogang's sister. Thank you for sending my brother Hu Xiaogang to reform school."

Only then did I put away my weapon and return it to Nan Batian.

Liang Laosi bowed deeply to Sister Li: "Sister Li, it's all my fault for what happened to Xiaogang before. I was ignorant and didn't recognize your greatness."

Sister Li said coldly, "If you want to talk business, then talk business, but we don't have time tonight. Let's talk again tomorrow at noon in Sanlichuan."

I stood up as well, ready to say goodbye to Sister Li and Erxia.

Liang Laosi grew anxious and clasped his hands in a fist, saying, "Brother Zu, my third sister has already been arrested. Once the case is transferred, it will be even more troublesome. I beg you to show mercy and try to find a way here at the Sanlichuan Police Station..."

"If you can wait, let's talk again tomorrow. If you can't wait, then figure it out yourself!"

I nodded to Nan Batian, then pulled Sister Li away.

Old Liang didn't dare say anything more and followed us downstairs.

Once outside, I led Sister Li and Erxia into the car.

Liang Laosi followed behind us, pleading, "Brother Zu, Sister Li, please be merciful! Everything else is negotiable..."

I ignored him and left with Sister Li and Erxia.

On the way, Sister Li became excited and laughed, "Little brother, this is the first time I've seen you fight! You really have the air of a chivalrous hero! You fought well today, you really vented my anger! And your throwing knife skills were just as good as Li Xunhuan's!"

Erxia laughed and said, "Brother Zu is really awesome. He never disappoints us when he makes a move."

"Being arrogant won't put food on the table." I shook my head. "Sister Li, Liang Laosi has come knocking on our door. How do we handle this?"

Sister Li rubbed her temples and sighed, "If we don't release Sister Liang, Old Fourth Liang will definitely cause trouble at our house..."

Erxia asked, "Back in your hometown, you couldn't beat Liang Laosi?"

"That's not necessarily true." I thought for a moment:

"Sister Li's family has a lot of influence back in her hometown. There are tens of thousands of people in her clan, all living in the same village. Just like the Ruan family in Hongxing Village, they are known for their fierce and warlike nature. If Liang Laosi dares to cause trouble in Sister Li's hometown, he'll be in big trouble."

Li Jie's village is called Da Hu Gang, and there are also Xiao Hu Gang, Hu Daying, and Hu Xiaoying nearby...

There are two ancestral halls, which contain weapons from past clan feuds, including broadswords and spears.

For a street thug like Liang Laosi to really go up against a powerful local clan is like throwing an egg against a rock—it's suicidal.

Erxia laughed and said, "Then what are you afraid of? Just fight him."

Sister Li shook her head: "I dare not let my hometown people know about the mess I made in Dongguan... My parents live in my hometown, and they care about their reputation."

Erxia hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

She should understand Sister Li's situation; she was a mistress here and even had a son with her.

If this gets back to their hometown, it will severely damage their reputation.

Sister Li added, "I have my family and relatives backing me up. But Wang Yaozu..."

"I'm in trouble." I gave a wry smile.

"My family immigrated here, and we have a common surname back home. My father only had one brother, and my second uncle is paralyzed and uses a wheelchair. When Liang Laosi came to my hometown to cause trouble, he was all alone and beat up my whole family."

Actually, I might not be that miserable.

Don't underestimate my second uncle just because he's paralyzed. He might be worth a thousand troops all by himself!

Erxia sighed upon hearing this: "In that case, Liang Laosi has your weakness in his hands, which is not good."

Sister Li said fiercely, "There must be a traitor who told Liang Laosi about this!"

I suddenly remembered Nan Batian and pondered, "Nan Batian said he knows who tipped off Liang Laosi. Let me ask him first."

Li Jie and Er Xia both nodded.

I called Nan Batian and asked him for advice.

Nan Batian, however, kept everyone in suspense, laughing, "Brother, in the world of martial arts, you need to use your brain. Think about this matter from all angles, and you'll understand. Do you still need to ask me?"

I said irritably, "That's why I asked you!"

"Sigh, you're still too green."

Nan Batian sighed and said in a low voice, "This matter was deliberately leaked by Dao Zixiong and Nie Suo."

I was taken aback: "Impossible! Dao Zixiong and Nie Su have no reason to cheat me!"

Dao Zixiong and I have a very good relationship now. Nie Suo is also hoping that I can contact Master Zhongyun because of that piece of land in Peninsula Slope.

They have no reason to cheat me, right?

Li Jie and Er Xia were also taken aback.

"Think about it again, and you'll understand." Nan Batian sighed again:

"They deliberately made your situation worse, so you couldn't solve it yourself and had to beg them. This matter also involves your hometown and your past messy affairs. Through this incident, Dao Zixiong and his gang can find out your past and become deeply involved with you."

Perhaps, Dao Zaixiong is even planning to use Liang Laosi to threaten you, creating a triangular balance so he can control you later and make sure you can't escape his grasp!

That makes some sense.

But I still didn't believe it: "Senior Brother, what you said makes sense, but is Dao Zai Xiong really that cunning?"

"What cunning scheme? This is just a standard tactic!" Nan Batian sneered. "If I'm wrong about this, you can gouge my eyes out."
