A life of success begins with being a landlord.

The moment her hands touched Daiyu, she shuddered again.

She was probably afraid I would hit her, right?

How could such a timid girl insult four fierce-looking men?

Little Daiyu was still scared and cried, "Brother Zu, please don't send me away. I'll accept being punished by cleaning the toilets and having my bonus deducted..."

"Ugh, can you please let me finish?"

I was both amused and exasperated. I helped little Daiyu sit down on the sofa, and then helped Shuangta sit down as well.

The two girls stared at me blankly, wondering what I was planning to do.

I smiled and said, "I know perfectly well that you two have been framed."

Daiyu's face lit up with joy: "Brother Zu, do you know we were framed?"

"Yes, I know that perfectly well, because you don't insult your guests."

I nodded: "But my criticism was just for show, to save face for the customers. As for the punishments, don't worry, I was just saying it. Besides, I know you suffered for the sake of Jin Sangzi's business, and I will definitely take care of you in the future."

Both Daiyu and the twin pagodas breathed a sigh of relief.

I laughed and said, "I've been a bit busy these past few days. I'll treat you to dinner when I'm less busy. Pick out a set of cosmetics you like; it's on me, I'll pay!"

"Brother Zu, you're so kind."

The twin towers got excited and jumped into my arms.

"Ouch..."

I was knocked backward by the impact, and hugged Shuangta tightly: "My dear sister, you almost punched two big dents in my chest!"

The Twin Towers girl lived up to her reputation; the pressure she put on me just now was truly overwhelming.

"I'm going to hit you, I'm going to hit you." Twin Towers grinned mischievously, hooking their arms around my neck.

Little Daiyu also covered her mouth and laughed.

"Alright, Shuangta, I have other things to do. I'll chat with you again when I'm not busy." I let go of Shuangta and then patted Xiao Daiyu's shoulder: "Xiao Daiyu, eat more in the future. Look at you, you're so thin it breaks my heart."

Shuangta laughed and said, "Brother Zu feels sorry for little Daiyu, so let's take her back and raise her. Raise her for the rest of her life, so she can be healthy, plump, and happy."

I wasn't hesitant at all: "Alright, in a few days I'll take Xiao Daiyu back to her hometown to meet her parents. After that, we'll get engaged and get married next year!"

My foul mouth is now just like Kuai Dafu's.

He's a liar, a smooth talker, and makes oaths and promises without batting an eye. His skin is as thick as a city wall.

But the girls like this style.

Little Daiyu jumped for joy: "Brother Zu, it's a deal then. I'll wait for you to take me home to meet your uncle and aunt."

"What uncles and aunts? Those are your parents-in-law, your child's grandparents!" I chuckled.

"Yes, yes, they are my biological parents." Little Daiyu covered her mouth and laughed.

I patted Daiyu's head again: "Go to work. I'll definitely come find you to play another day and make up for what you did wrong today."

Little Daiyu nodded and walked away happily with the twin pagodas.

I closed the door and called Nan Batian first, telling him about the situation when several swordsmen from western Guangdong came to scout the place.

Then I called Daozaixiong and reported my guess to him.

Dao Zixiong gritted his teeth: "These people from western Guangdong are getting more and more arrogant. They've targeted you first, and next they'll definitely target me and Sang Kun. Brother, you decide what to do. Remember, if you're not ruthless, you won't stand firm!"

"I understand, Xiong Ge. Don't worry, I guarantee everything will be perfect!"

This time we are well-prepared for battle. I have my own people, and with Nan Batian's help, there is no reason for us to lose!

But who should I use as bait to lure those swordsmen from western Guangdong into my car?

I dare not use Dao Zixiong's men;

On my end, Ye Xiaotian can drive, but I sent him to Kuai Dafa's hometown;

Nan Batian's men can be used, but... how can I bear to let them risk their lives like this?

The thugs in western Guangdong are ruthless and vicious. I wouldn't rule out the possibility that they would use a shotgun and indiscriminately shoot at my car when they see it; or they could smash my window, pour gasoline in, and burn me to a crisp.

After thinking it over, I decided not to use a stunt double and to drive myself to lure out the Guangdong swordsmen.

If you want to be a leader, you have to be ruthless.

Those who are afraid of death and cling to life will find it difficult to win the respect of the people!

With that in mind, I discussed the details with Nan Batian.

Nan Batian had clearly given this matter considerable thought, and pondered for a moment before saying:

"It's very dangerous for you to drive alone and attract the knife-wielding gang from western Guangdong. Now listen to my instructions... I'll have two brothers, with shotguns, get in the car beforehand and lie in ambush; one will lie in the back seat of your car, and the other will curl up in the trunk."

"If the Guangdong swordsmen appear, we'll strike first!"

I thought for a moment: "You can arrange for one of your brothers to hide in my trunk. I also have the old squad leader here; he's small and thin, he can hide in the back seat."

Nan Batian asked me, "Is the old squad leader ruthless enough?"

"Master of grappling, superb marksmanship, no problem!"

I have great trust in my old squad leader, both in terms of his abilities and his character.

Nan Batian agreed to my plan and began making arrangements.

I then instructed Nan Batian to have his men deliver his throwing knives and scabbard to me.

The battle is expected to take place in the middle of the night.

It's just getting dark, there's still time!

Even though everything was arranged, I still felt uneasy and a little anxious.

Zhang Bazi called and asked me, "Is everything arranged? Do you need my help?"

"Scarface, I haven't made any arrangements. Whether we live or die depends on luck." I pretended to be calm.

I can't tell Zhang Bazi the specific arrangements.

This guy is unpredictable; it's hard to say whether he's a human or a ghost.

Zhang the Scarface chuckled dryly: "I believe in Mr. Wang's luck. Last time, we didn't kill you either."

"Haha, thanks, Scarface." I laughed and hung up the phone.

At 9 PM, Nan Batian sent someone to deliver some weapons to me.

Twelve custom-made throwing knives, plus two knife pouches.

There was also a large gold-threaded ring sword, which was exactly similar in style to the Seven Star Sword I used to practice with, and its length and weight were very close.

I was overjoyed and started practicing right there in the office.

They also set up a simple target for practicing knife throwing.

Weapons are an extension of the hands and feet. In order to unleash their greatest power, people and weapons must work together and practice together.

I practiced a bit, then rested a bit. I worked on it for over an hour, and I felt like I was almost there.

Having a knife in hand feels completely different!

I was a little nervous at first, but now I'm suddenly looking forward to a big battle tonight!

Around 10 o'clock, Sister Li suddenly called: "Little brother, are you still using Jin Sang Zi?"

"I'm here, Sister Li. Is there anything I can help you with?"

"I'm fine, I was just worried about you..."

Sister Li suddenly started sobbing: "I brought you to Dongguan. If something happens to you, how...how will I live? You are more important to me than Xiaogang right now, you know?"

I was deeply moved and repeatedly reassured Sister Li, "Don't worry, Sister Li, everything is perfectly arranged. Zhang Bazi and Nan Batian are both lying in ambush around the area with dozens of men. Director Nie has also deployed some heavily armed 'Uncle Hats,' just waiting for them to appear!"

To put Sister Li's mind at ease, I had no choice but to lie.

Actually, I didn't tell Director Nie about this, and Zhang Bazi didn't bring dozens of people to help me.

Even Dao Zixiong's side remained inactive, not sending out a single soldier.

Tonight, the only one who can help me is Nan Batian.
