A life of success begins with being a landlord.

Everyone at the table was looking at me.

I smiled and said, "The note that Boss Huo just wrote, the character for 'righteousness' in 'loyalty' is in traditional Chinese characters. Now only Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan still use traditional Chinese characters, right? Boss Huo's accent doesn't sound like the accent in Taiwanese dramas, so it can only be from the Hong Kong government."

Daozai Xiong laughed: "Wow, it's that simple!"

Director Nie then asked, "How do you know, brother, that Boss Huo is a businessman and not a government official?"

I shook my head: "Just guessing."

This is actually easy to deduce. If Mr. Fok were a Hong Kong government official, people like Kwok Tsz-hung probably wouldn't be able to get close to him because they weren't high enough in rank. Kwok Tsz-hung and his associates also have connections in the local area, so they don't need to curry favor with Hong Kong government officials. What they lack are financially strong partners.

Boss Huo is definitely the financial backer behind Dao Zai Xiong and others.

Boss Huo used local thugs like Dao Zixiong to do business and make money here; Dao Zixiong and his gang, in turn, clung to Boss Huo's coattails to get a share of the profits.

Sister Tang laughed and said, "It seems Brother Wang was holding back a trick up his sleeve. Alright, we won't ask anymore. Brother Dao, why don't you talk to Brother Wang about the important matter?"

Dao Zixiong pointed at Boss Hong: "Chang Hong, you stand outside the door and don't let anyone eavesdrop. Not a single word of what happened tonight can be said."

Boss Hong immediately got up, closed the door, and stood guard outside.

Dao Zixiong looked at me, lowered his voice, and began to explain the whole story.

In short, Boss Huo and Dao Zixiong, among others, had their eyes on a piece of land located between Sanlichuan Town and Hengjie Town.

This place belongs to Sanlichuan, surrounded by water on three sides and backed by mountains, covering an area of ​​more than 100 acres.

Dao Zaixiong and others want to develop real estate, creating "Hong Kong-oriented" properties specifically for Hong Kong residents and wealthy individuals. The estimated price is HK$4,000 per square meter, promising substantial profits.

However, in Hengjie Town, a group of local bullies, together with wealthy investors, came to seize this land and wanted to build a large commercial center.

The last time Awen was attacked, it was probably related to this incident.

The two sides are deadlocked over this land.

The other party invited a Master Wang, who was said to be a master from Hunan Province. He claimed to be the reincarnation of a dragon, an expert in feng shui and geomancy, and could communicate with spirits and control ghosts, and retrieve objects from a distance.

At yesterday afternoon's investment promotion meeting, Master Wang performed a feat of conjuring a snake from an empty basin and reading words with his ears, which amazed the entire audience.

The emergence of Master Wang has unbalanced the competition between the two sides. The higher-ups clearly favor the group from Hengjie Town.

After the meeting, Dao Zai Xiong and the others gathered together to drink and discuss countermeasures. Tiger, being talkative, said that I waved my hand that day and made them collapse, which shows that I am a master of the underworld.

So, Dao Zai Xiong and others came to me to find out what was going on.

After Dao Zixiong finished explaining the whole story, Director Nie looked at me and said, "Brother, you understand what we mean, right? We need your help to expose that Master Wang."

Director Tang also stated, "Brother, you're one of us. We will definitely treat you well after this is done."

Boss Huo looked at me and nodded slightly.

"Brother Xiong, this is a big deal. I'm afraid I might mess it up and ruin your important plans."

I thought for a moment, then said thoughtfully, "Tomorrow night, I'll demonstrate the Snake-Coiling Technique for you. If you think I'm capable, I'll go. If not, you can find someone else."

Dao Zai Xiong laughed and said, "Brother, you can definitely do it!"

Director Liu asked, "The snake-coiling technique you mentioned, is it the same as Master Wang's, where an empty basin turns into a snake?"

"No." I stood up and shook my head.

"A true master can conjure several snakes without needing a basin. Using a basin to cover them up shows a lack of confidence and insufficient skill."

Sister Tang was very interested: "Then how will you transform?"

"We'll know tomorrow night; it's too complicated to explain now."

I looked at Dao Zixiong and said, "Brother Xiong, arrange a car and a driver for me first thing tomorrow morning. I need to go to the city to buy some medicine and make some preparations."

Dao Zai Xiong snapped his fingers: "No problem!"

I glanced at everyone again: "If I absolutely must take action, not a single word of tonight's events can be uttered. If it is, the magic will be nullified."

Everyone perked up, nodding and smiling, "Understood!"

I clasped my hands in a fist and said, "Farewell!"

Dao Zai Xiong was very polite and escorted me downstairs.

I got back to 302, it was already 10 p.m.

However, in the south, this time is not late.

In Li Jie's words, the nightlife in the South is just beginning.

Chunyan's mother is still here, watching a DVD, and it seems she's waiting for me too.

"Auntie, where's Chunyan?"

"Chunyan had a stomachache, so I gave her a painkiller and put her to bed."

Chunyan's mother waved her hand and said softly, "I'll wait for you here. I was worried it would be inconvenient for you to take a bath and change your dressing, so I'll help you out."

I blushed and shook my head, saying, "Auntie, my wound has almost healed, and I can take a bath by myself."

I felt so embarrassed to have Chunyan's mother bathe me.

"If a wound gets wet and becomes infected, it's no joke."

Chunyan's mother smiled and said, "If you're shy, take off your shirt. I'll wipe it off for you and then change your dressing."

"Auntie, I'm worried it might be inconvenient for you."

"It's alright. When I first came here, I worked as a caregiver at the Second Hospital for half a month, often taking care of the patients. There were also two young men who were injured in a fight, and I helped them... bathe and change their clothes."

As Chunyan's mother spoke, she blushed.

"Your auntie used to be a caregiver?" I was a little surprised.

Chunyan's mother nodded, fetched hot water for me, and adjusted the water temperature.

I had no choice but to take off my shirt and go into the bathroom.

Chunyan's mother was very gentle as she washed me.

The small bathroom was filled with a hazy mist.

"By the way, Auntie, have you changed the dressing on your wound?" I suddenly remembered, "You can use the medicine I brought back from the hospital."

I had a knife wound, while Chunyan's mother had a glass cut. Both of those anti-inflammatory ointments can be used.

"It hasn't been changed yet." Chunyan's mother looked up. "After I change your dressing, can you... change it for me then?"

I nodded: "Okay, I'll help you."

Taking a shower like this is very inconvenient and took a long time.

The bathroom was small and lacked oxygen, so Chunyan's mother's face was flushed, and dew still clung to her eyelashes.

"This bathroom is a bit small. Two people can barely move around in there..." Chunyan's mother smiled, pointing to the sofa:

"Sit down, I'll change your dressing."

"I'll bring the medicine."

I nodded, went into the small bedroom, and looked for my medicine and gauze.

The swallows are sleeping soundly.

I didn't dare disturb Chunyan. I took the medicine and quietly closed the door.

Chunyan's mother took the medicine, glanced at it, and then asked me to sit down on the sofa.

Chunyan's mother must have actually worked as a caregiver; her movements were very gentle, slow, and meticulous.

Ten minutes later, the dressing change was completed.

I stood up: "Auntie, your wound... let me change your dressing too."

Chunyan's mother blushed slightly and nodded.

I crouched down to examine the wound.

The situation is not good; the area around it is red and swollen, and it feels hard when pressed.

Moreover, the wound has started to ooze fluid, showing obvious signs of inflammation.

"Auntie, you need to take anti-inflammatory medicine; it's inflamed."

As I applied the medicine, I said, "There's a small clinic across the street. How about I go with you to get an IV drip? It'll work faster."

Chunyan's mother sighed, "I'd better take some medicine. An IV drip takes too much time and I'll have to take time off work."

"Even in this situation, you're still thinking about making money?"

I got a little anxious: "I'll give you a month's salary as compensation. You need to go for an IV drip tomorrow and make sure your wound is treated properly."
