A life of success begins with being a landlord.

Thinking about it now, I realize how impulsive and naive I was back then!

After exposing Master Wang, I can run away, but Sister Li can't.

She was a weak woman, powerless to even kill a chicken, and would be in great danger if she were targeted by Hengjie Sangkun.

Sigh, I've really dragged Sister Li down with me!

"Brother, don't say such things. I'm your older sister; your problems are my problems." Sister Li pondered for a while, then her eyes suddenly lit up:

"I've got it. Director Song, Amei's father, should be able to keep Sang Kun in check. After this is over, contact Director Song immediately and ask him to help clean up the mess. That might be a solution."

I suddenly understood: "That's right, Sister Li. Dao Zixiong was very respectful to Director Song. I'm sure that Sang Kun will also give Director Song face."

"That being said, we still need to be careful."

Sister Li nodded: "Get ready, I'll take you to Dao Zai Xiong's villa for a tour."

Besides the Zhan family's old house, Dao Zixiong also owns a villa at No. 30 Sanlichuan Street, which has five floors.

I've only passed by there a few times; I've never gone inside.

At 7 p.m., Sister Li and I arrived at Dao Zixiong's villa.

I was stunned as soon as I entered.

The villa's design and layout are very unique; it's a circular building. It should be a regular pentagon, with an open center where you can see the sky when you look up.

I've never seen a house like this in my entire life.

Needless to say, the villa's decoration was magnificent and luxurious.

There are also dedicated chefs and cleaners at home.

A petite and lovely woman in her early twenties came out to greet us.

"Sister Li, you've been out having fun for so long this time! I couldn't find anyone to play mahjong with." The woman complained as soon as she saw me, but she had a big smile on her face.

"Yaozu, this is Xiong Ge's girlfriend. Have you met her before? Call her sister-in-law," Sister Li introduced to me.

"Hello, sister-in-law." I nodded.

I've never seen this woman before. Judging by her age, she's about my age.

"Hello, hello, Xiong Ge told me your name is A Zu."

The woman smiled and brought me a drink: "Little fox calls me Ah Xiang, you can call me Ah Xiang too."

I smiled and said, "Then I'll call you Sister Xiang."

Ah Xiang nodded and led us upstairs to tour the villa.

Half an hour later, Dao Zixiong returned, bringing with him the tattooed man named A Qiang.

"Brother Xiong, you're back?" Ah Xiang greeted him like a little bird nestled against her.

"I have something to do."

Dao Zixiong shoved Ah Xiang aside, waved to Sister Li and me, and laughed loudly: "Sister Li, Brother Wang, I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting!"

Sister Li nodded and smiled: "Brother Xiong, we just arrived too."

"Sit down, sit down, have some tea!" Dao Zaixiong greeted him warmly.

After drinking half a cup of tea and exchanging a few pleasantries, Sister Li beckoned Dao Zai Xiong to go to the study to talk alone.

Me and A-Qiang, Dao-Zai-Xiong's henchman, were smoking on the fifth-floor balcony, gazing at the brightly lit night scene of Sanlichuan.

"Ah Qiang, is Sang Kun from Heng Street very powerful?" I asked casually.

"You know him?" Ah-Qiang was surprised.

"I don't know him, I've only heard of him."

"No matter how powerful he is, he's only in Hengjie. In Sanlichuan, Xiong Ge still calls the shots." A-Qiang turned to look at me: "Brother Zu, you're not planning to kill Sang Kun, are you? If you're thinking about it, I'll go with you!"

"How could I possibly have that ability?" I quickly shook my head.

Am I crazy? To kill Sang Kun? What good would killing Sang Kun do me?

Killing someone isn't like killing a chicken; isn't that illegal?

Ah Qiang smiled and said, "Two tigers cannot share one mountain. There will inevitably be a battle between Xiong Ge and Sang Kun in the future."

I asked, "Are Xiong Ge and Sang Kun the only two bosses in the entire Dongguan city?"

"No, that's not it. Dongguan is a very big city."

Ah Qiang shook his head: "But in the southeast of Dongguan, it is indeed Xiong Ge and Sang Kun who are vying for power."

I wasn't very interested in those things, so I changed the subject: "By the way, Qiang, are those guys who live in Building 27, the ones called Tiger Lei, all with Brother Xiong now? I haven't seen them for days."

Ah Qiang nodded: "Yes, they're all with Brother Qiang. Tiger and Long Hair are arranged to stay at the entertainment center. That guy named Lei Zi seems to have gone home for a funeral and won't be back for a few days. Brother Xiong is planning to have Lei Zi work with you from now on."

I was slightly surprised: "Why are you following me?"

"Brother Xiong is planning to hand over the Sanlichuan matter to you, didn't you know?" A-Qiang was also surprised.

"I don't know." I shook my head. "What's going on in Sanlichuan? Is it to collect protection money?"

"That's called a management fee, not a protection fee. We're all civilized people, aren't we?" Ah Qiang laughed.

I laughed too.

You're so damn civilized, with a green dragon on the left and a white tiger on the right, walking sideways, even Sanlichuan Street isn't wide enough!

As we were talking, Dao Zixiong came out and invited me to the study to talk.

The study reeked of cigarette smoke.

Sister Li sat on the sofa and nodded slightly to me, it seemed that the matter had been settled.

Feeling a little more at ease, I sat down. "Brother Xiong, is there something you need?"

"It's the same thing as last time, help us expose Master Wang." Dao Zai Xiong said, smoking a cigarette and looking at me.

"Sister Li just talked to me, and I'll give you a guarantee too. First, you've done us a huge favor, so we'll give you 200,000 yuan as a thank-you fee. This isn't just my money, so please don't be shy and accept it."

I hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Brother Xiong is looking out for me, so I'll listen to you."

Dao Zixiong nodded and said, "Secondly, I assure you, we will not provoke any retaliation from Sang Kun. Because after we win this land, we will naturally appease Sang Kun."

I breathed a sigh of relief.

Since that's the case, why wouldn't I do it?

Two hundred thousand is a huge sum of money for me!

Sister Li looked at Dao Zai Xiong and said thoughtfully, "I understand Brother Xiong's concern for us. However, Yao Zu is also the only son in his family, so he absolutely cannot get into trouble."

"Don't worry, nothing will happen," Dao Zai Xiong assured him again.

"Thank you, Xiong-ge."

Sister Li got up and took my leave.

Dao Zixiong was quite polite and had Aqiang take us to the bottom of Building 27.

Just then, Chunyan, Liu Haomei, and Sister Ling also came home from get off work and ran into us.

"Sister Ling, Chunyan, my dear sister!" I waved. "You got off work early today. Have you eaten yet? I'll treat you to fried noodles."

Sister Ling smiled and shook her head, then greeted Sister Li, "Landlady, you're back."

Sister Li looked at Sister Ling, then at me: "You call her Sister Ling? Isn't she your mother-in-law?"

Chunyan and Sister Ling both blushed.

I didn't mind at all, and shrugged with a smile: "Calling me Sister Ling makes me sound younger, doesn't it?"

"That's true." Sister Ling took Sister Ling's hand, a mischievous grin on her face. "Chunyan and my little brother are dating, so we're practically in-laws. I'll treat you to dinner another day, and we'll play a few rounds of cards."

"Thank you, landlady." Sister Ling smiled and said, "I do know how to play mahjong, but I have to go to work and don't have time."

"We'll see, there'll always be a chance."

Sister Li smiled and went upstairs.

I waved to Chunyan and followed Sister Li upstairs.

Once inside room 302, Sister Li suddenly grabbed my ear: "Wang Yaozu, tell me honestly, what have you been doing all these days I've been gone!"
