Chapter 2

“How are things at home?”

Ni Yongyao asked indifferently.

“The situation is very bad. Father left too suddenly, and many things weren't arranged in time. The people below are in a state of panic...”

Ni Yongxiao said, shaking his head.

He then looked at the taciturn Storm Shadow, who was following behind Ni Yongyao.

“Big Brother, who is this?”

“His name is Storm Shadow; he is my personal bodyguard.”

Ni Yongyao introduced him briefly.

Hearing this, Ni Yongxiao nodded, understanding Ni Yongyao’s meaning.

A personal bodyguard meant he was one of their own, so many things would not need to be hidden.

“Let’s go, let’s head home first.”

Ni Yongyao patted Ni Yongxiao on the shoulder.

Tsim Sha Tsui.

The Ni family manor.

In a place like Tsim Sha Tsui where every inch of land is worth an ounce of gold, the fact that the Ni family could own a manor was enough to show their immense strength.

However, now, following the death of Ni Kun, the Ni family was already in a precarious state.

The situation could be described in four words:

Internal trouble and external aggression!

Internally, the four elders had thoughts of rebellion and planned to betray the Ni family to set up their own factions.

Externally, the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB) police, led by Huang Zhicheng, were eyeing them like tigers, ready to wipe out the Ni family at any moment.

Fortunately, Ni Yongyao had long since prepared a way to break the deadlock.

“A-Yao.”

“Big Brother, you’re back!”

In the reception hall, the Ni family’s eldest daughter, Ni Yinghong, and the youngest son, Ni Yongyi, greeted him.

Ni Yongyao nodded at them, then sat down in the center of the sofa and pulled out a cigar.

Storm Shadow immediately leaned over to light the cigar for Ni Yongyao.

“How is the old lady?”

Ni Yongyao asked.

“Mother just rested. She instructed us to buy a few packs of cigarettes to place before Father’s coffin.”

Ni Yinghong said.

“Yongyi, handle this matter.”

Ni Yongyao said casually.

Among the Ni children, the eldest sister Ni Yinghong was married, the second brother Ni Yongxiao was an accountant by trade, and only the youngest, Ni Yongyi, was idle and the least promising.

Therefore, Ni Yongyao didn't expect Ni Yongyi to do anything; he was only good for running errands.

“Got it, Big Brother.”

Ni Yongyi said, then left the reception hall.

“Big Brother, Father was shot to death. The killer is nowhere to be found, and no clues have been discovered. The day for collecting the accounts is coming soon, and I’m worried those four guys, Gandhi and the others, will cause trouble.”

Ni Yongxiao spoke slowly.

“They are just a few clowns; no need to worry.”

Hearing this, Ni Yongyao exhaled a cloud of smoke and said nonchalantly, “Since I am back, I will resolve these matters.”

“You only need to handle the old man’s funeral well.”

Seeing Ni Yongyao say this, Ni Yongxiao did not press further.

Regarding his family, Ni Yongxiao had always placed absolute trust in them.

At this moment, a capable-looking man walked in from outside; it was the Ni family’s Third Uncle.

Behind him followed three bodyguards in suits.

“A-Yao.”

When Third Uncle saw Ni Yongyao, he first greeted him, then looked at the three bodyguards and roared, “How did you three pieces of trash do your jobs!”

“It’s our fault for not protecting Uncle Kun well...”

The three bodyguards kept their heads low; they were the ones responsible for protecting Ni Kun.

Third Uncle, with an angry face, walked up and slapped them several times.

Ni Yongyao watched this scene, his gaze lingering on each of the three men’s faces, a playful smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Others might not know, but Ni Yongyao was clear: these three bodyguards had all betrayed them and taken dirty money, which was why Ni Kun was so easily shot to death.

In the movie, it wasn't until four years later that these three were settled.

But now, Ni Yongyao did not intend to let the three of them off so easily.

“Storm Shadow.”

Ni Yongyao snapped his fingers and pointed at the three bodyguards.

Storm Shadow understood immediately; with a flick of his wrist, three ninja throwing stars shot out.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

After the sharp sound of air being torn.

The three bodyguards fell to the ground in response, a throwing star deeply embedded in the center of each of their foreheads.

“Gold Coin +1!”

“Gold Coin +1!”

“Gold Coin +1!”

Following the deaths of the three, three consecutive notifications appeared in Ni Yongyao’s mind.

This scene happened extremely suddenly; Storm Shadow’s strike was so fast that the others couldn't react at all.

“A-Yao, what are you doing!”

It wasn't until a few seconds later that Third Uncle regained his senses and looked at Ni Yongyao in disbelief.

Ni Yongxiao also looked at Ni Yongyao, but he didn't say anything.

Ni Yongxiao believed that if his big brother took action, there must be a necessary reason.

“Those three were traitors to the Ni family; they deserved to die.”

Facing Third Uncle’s questioning, Ni Yongyao explained indifferently.

“Traitors? You just returned to Huigang, where did you get the news?”

Third Uncle clearly didn't believe it.

“In three days, I will tell you the answer. For now, let’s ask Third Uncle to handle the bodies.”

Ni Yongyao did not answer directly, instead keeping them in suspense.

In reality, this was also intentional on Ni Yongyao’s part.

Ni Yongyao could naturally have explained everything clearly, interrogated the three bodyguards, and finally finished them off.

But Ni Yongyao chose the most overbearing method.

This was to establish unquestionable authority within the Ni family.

Third Uncle was silent for a moment and looked deeply at Ni Yongyao, not expecting that his nephew, having returned after studying abroad for so many years, would give him such a shock the moment he took action.

Afterward, Third Uncle called in a few trusted aides to clean up the three bodies.

“Big Brother, you said they were traitors. Could it be that you have already found out who killed Father?”

Ni Yongxiao asked.

“I have some leads, but I still need some time.”

After Ni Yongyao finished speaking, he gave a few more instructions to Storm Shadow.

“Yes, Mr. Ni.”

Storm Shadow nodded, then strode out of the reception hall.
