A life of success begins with being a landlord.

I answered the phone: "Brother Xiong, I'm at the Blue Sky Ice Rink."

"Brother, have those guys from western Guangdong said anything?" Dao Zixiong gritted his teeth. "If they haven't said anything, there's no need to ask. They're tigers!"

"Brother Xiong, do you have any evidence to prove that Tiger did it?" I was a little surprised.

"No evidence is needed!" Dao Zixiong roared furiously.

"That bastard Tiger absconded with over a million yuan from my entertainment center! You go back to Sanlichuan immediately and bring Lei Zi and Lao San here. They're in cahoots! I've already sent men to hunt Tiger down. I'll find him no matter where he is and chop him into mincemeat!"

Holy crap, Tiger Brokers ran away with the money?

The plot is developing so fast, it's beyond my imagination!

But this is good, because Tiger will never dare to come to Dongguan again in his life, so he will no longer pose any threat to me and Erxia!

Dao Zixiong was still roaring: "Those guys from western Guangdong, have their Achilles tendons severed! Then, go and catch the tiger for me!"

"Brother Xiong, calm down."

I walked to the side and comforted Daozai Xiong: "Leave these things to me, I promise I'll handle them well."

Daozai Xiong angrily hung up the phone.

Actually, I didn't have any good way to handle this matter. All I could do was organize the evidence, hand it over to Chief Nie, and then follow the proper procedures to issue an arrest warrant for Tiger.

Stealing over a million is considered a very serious case.

As for catching a tiger himself, that's nonsense.

In this vast world, where can you catch a tiger? Many murderers have been on the run for decades, and even Uncle Hat can't catch them.

But the tiger's life is over. Even if he can't catch him, he can only live in anonymity for the rest of his life, living in fear and trembling like a mouse!

Nan Batian asked me, "What happened?"

"He really is a tiger. Knowing he'd been exposed, he absconded with over a million dollars." I shrugged.

"That's not right." Nan Batian thought for a moment and pondered:

"Tiger was well-prepared, with two plans in mind. If the Guangdong swordsmen succeeded, he would stay and follow Dao Zai Xiong, gradually building his own power. If the Guangdong swordsmen failed, he would immediately run away with the money. He must have had his eye on this money for a long time!"

I nodded, acknowledging that Nan Batian's analysis made sense.

Nan Batian then pointed at the group of swordsmen from western Guangdong: "Catching thieves is easy, releasing them is difficult. What should we do with these people?"

"I said I would release them as long as they reveal who was behind it."

I nodded and smiled at the man with the triangular eyes, "Brothers, you're lucky you mentioned Tiger. If you had spoken two minutes later, you wouldn't have been so lucky. Because Tiger stole over a million from Brother Xiong and ran away. Now, we know it was Tiger even without you saying it."

The man with the triangular eyes opened his mouth, his face showing anger.

I asked, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"

"Tiger promised us another 100,000 regardless of whether we succeeded tonight. But that bastard ran away, he broke his promise!" Triangular Eyes gritted his teeth.

"It's okay, you can go look for him, you might still be able to find him."

I chuckled and personally untied those people.

He looked at me with triangular eyes, rubbing his aching wrist: "Brother Zu, are you really letting us go?"

"In the world of men, the most important thing is to keep your word." I raised my hand and pointed to the stairs: "Let's go, I'll see you downstairs."

Touched by my words, the man with the triangular eyes clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Brother Zu, you're a true hero! I'll remember this kindness!"

I nodded: "When you have time another day, go to Jin Sangzi and apologize to our two technicians. You wronged them. A real man shouldn't bully a woman."

The man with the triangular eyes blushed and nodded repeatedly, "I'll go apologize in a couple of days."

Nan Batian glanced at us sideways and sighed.

The man with the triangular eyes turned to look at Nan Batian and bowed, saying, "Thank you for showing mercy, Brother Nan!"

We really went easy on them tonight.

If we weren't at the scene, we would have hacked those Guangdong swordsmen to pieces.

Nan Batian said lazily, "Good to know. From now on, you'd better behave yourselves. Don't think that just because you have a few motorcycles and a few broken watermelon knives, you can be invincible. I have plenty of ways to deal with you."

"Understood, thanks for the reminder, Brother Nan." The man with the triangular eyes nodded, then called to his men and left together.

One of the swordsmen from western Guangdong injured his foot and couldn't walk, so his companion had to carry him.

I accompanied the man with the triangular eyes downstairs. When we reached the door, I asked, "Brother, what's your name? You know my name, but I don't know yours."

The man with the triangular eyes thought for a moment and then gave his name: "My surname is Yan, the Yan of strictness. I'm the fifth in my family, so everyone calls me Yan Laowu (Fifth Yan)."

I nodded: "Fifth Brother, take care. I hope we can be friends from now on, not enemies. Otherwise, you'll be afraid to go out, and I'll be afraid to go out too."

Yan Laowu chuckled, clasped his hands in farewell, and said goodbye.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

The way this was handled tonight is a case of being lenient when possible, and it benefits everyone.

If I were to fall out with them and completely offend the people of western Guangdong, I would live in constant fear, always on guard against their sneak attacks, and I wouldn't be able to do anything.

After seeing Yan Laowu and the others off, I called Dao Zixiong to give them a report.

Dao Zai Xiong was already asleep. A blond-haired man answered the phone and told me to contact Ah Guang at the entertainment center.

I thought about it for a moment, went back upstairs, greeted Nan Batian, and went to the entertainment center with A Guang.

The casino had just closed, and the managers were still having a meeting, discussing the tiger's absconding with the money.

The finance manager, Lao Xie, is currently reflecting on his mistakes:

"The cash was all in the safe. That bastard Tiger somehow got the safe's combination, knocked me unconscious, tied me up here, opened the safe, and stole over a million... and some gold bars, which belonged to Xiong Ge."

I looked at Lao Xie with a face full of sympathy.

He cannot escape responsibility for the problems that occurred under his supervision.

Another supervisor said, "In Tiger's office, we found a letter, half-written, addressed to Erxia."

I want to read that letter.

It was an unfinished letter, but surprisingly well-written, with fluent sentences, clear paragraphs, and a prominent central idea!

The letter said that he, Tiger, loved Erxia deeply and was grateful for her love. He told Erxia to carefully keep the 300,000 yuan he had previously entrusted to her so she could live a good life in her later years.

I laughed when I saw this.

That bastard, he really planned this all along. He even framed Erxia before he left!

He said that on purpose, trying to make Dao Zai Xiong suspect Er Xia, and then kill Er Xia!

"Everyone, this is the tiger's insidious and ruthless nature." I held up the letter and recounted the tiger's past with Erxia, giving everyone an analysis:

"Erxia is with me now, focusing on her business. She's long since cut off all contact with Tiger. In fact, Erxia hates Tiger to the core and wishes she could bite him to death! Lan Kouchang can testify to this."

Lan Kou Chang was Huang Mao, who was instructed by the tiger to commit indecent acts against Er Xia in the grove.

Just then, Lan Kouchang happened to be there and hurriedly nodded: "Yes, I can testify that Erxia and Tiger have absolutely no contact now!"
