Today is really a good day, everything I think of can...!

Today is not a holiday, but for Li Xin, it's a good day.

In the evening, a piece of news spread worldwide; that old lady Niu Niu knelt!

"Today really is a good day, everything you think of can..."

Li Xin, like a madman, sang a song that Qiuti had never heard!

He is truly delighted, the main timeline has not deviated in the slightest, giving him many things to operate; this butterfly of his has no direction to fan the wind.

But starting today, Gangdao will also be in complete chaos!

The foreign high-ups, because of this, will have no mind to work earnestly; they will strive to make money, enough for them to return to Niu Niu and live out the rest of their lives.

The Hong Kong government, police force, and all functional departments will undergo major changes.

The nickname of the Gangdao young man Tan is not just empty fame, is it?

All kinds of heroes and villains keep emerging; the Hong Kong government's Chinese faction is also vying for power and profit.

Who has time to manage Gangdao?

Spring has also come for the societies! The foreigners have lifted restrictions on the societies, letting their ambitions grow wildly and develop barbarously.

This will spawn a large batch of ambitious triads, frantically expanding, all wanting to seize the opportunity to eat their fill; the bold will be stuffed, the timid will starve.

The Gangdao underworld is in total chaos!

For Li Xin, this is not a problem; if it's not chaotic, who will he eat?

Just as he was immensely happy, the phone rang.

Li Xin picked up the phone and asked, "Hey! Who's looking for Councilor Li?"

That one sentence left Deng Fei on the other end dumbfounded; how should he respond?

It's really hard!

Deng Fei couldn't respond, but he had to speak, only his tone became much more polite.

"A Xin, I am Deng Wei of Harmony United Victory."

Upon hearing the other side give their name, he knew the Jordan matter had been exposed.

The dust has settled; he fears nothing.

He quickly adjusted his tone and said enthusiastically: "Uncle Deng! What do you need? If you have something, just say it; if I can do it, I'll do it; if I can't, don't make things difficult for me—does that work?"

Deng Fei felt his heart racing today; just a few words with this little bastard could make him die of anger before he could even speak! The other side directly blocked the road.

He adjusted his mindset and asked in a harsh tone: "A Xin, haven't we offended you? You dragged Big D into Prosperity, yet we haven't bothered you—is this excessive?"

Li Xin immediately retorted: "Uncle Deng, you are a senior in the underworld; I respect your age, but don't slander me!"

"The cause of this matter isn't you, Harmony United Victory, looking for trouble with Axe Head Jun, is it?"

"What does it have to do with me?"

"You can't blame me just because Tianhong picked up two streets! June snow!"

Deng Fei was angered by these words; his fat face trembled, his teeth grinding.

This bastard is too shameless! A few words and he cleared himself completely.

And still June snow?

Listen, is this something a person can say? He's become an innocent victim! Does this world only let the wicked thrive?

Is there still heavenly principle?

Thinking of this, he could no longer suppress his anger, shouting: "Immortal Trust, do you acknowledge this matter or not? Everyone knows what's going on; if you don't give Harmony United Victory an explanation, we won't let it rest!"

"Oh! This old thing came for compensation; since this matter is exposed, he never thought to deny it; just now he was merely trying to see if he could anger this old thing, but failed."

"Then let's just admit it frankly; he's the type who dares to do and dares to admit, that's how upright he is."

"As for whether to change or not?"

"That's for next time; this time we'll let it slide!"

Li Xin said in a flat tone: "Uncle Deng, is this your first day in the underworld? This matter, I did it—what can you do about it?"

Don't even say it's just one Jordan, kicking you and United Victory out of Yau Tsim Mong—what can you do? If something happens, I, A Xin, will own up, take the beating! Definitely stand at attention; it just depends on whether the other side has that ability.

But that's how the martial world works—today I'm taking on you and United Victory, tomorrow you're bullying small clubs, it's all the same people; don't make yourself sound so wronged, it's embarrassing, Uncle Deng.

Deng Fatty fell silent!

He's been in the martial world for decades—how could he not know this principle?

Isn't there no way?

He had no choice but to change his tone and say: 'A Xin, what's the situation with you and United Victory now? You definitely know—what suggestions do you have for handling this?'

Li Xin showed a smile.

Ah! That's right!

Deng Fatty threatening him—surely that won't work; today Deng Fatty threatens me a bit, tomorrow someone else threatens me a bit—then what's the point of me still being in the martial world?

If you'd said that earlier, wouldn't it have been settled?

This is a hassle!

Li Xin eased his tone, smiling, and said: 'Uncle Deng, what do you think of this?'

After all, it's my disciple who took advantage; I'll definitely give you an explanation, so you and United Victory can save face.

Like this! Tomorrow, I'll invite Chief Bo of the Thus line: Prosperity Ritual Hall to set up eighteen tables with backbone and invite you and United Victory to share a drink of harmony.

Let Heavenly Rainbow give A Joy a big red envelope of 660,000, and this matter will be over—what do you think? Any other problems?

Deng Bo hung up the phone and said to Old Ghost Crooked and String Burst beside him: 'The Yangtze's back waves push the front waves—each generation stronger than the last. Immortal Trust, really sharp!'

String Burst asked: 'What did that little bastard say?'

Old Ghost Crooked didn't speak; he was waiting for Deng Bo's answer—this matter really isn't easy to handle.

Fight, can't win, playing dirty—that little bastard is also an expert in this!

Finding gunmen goes without saying—the whole family of Lei Gong from the Triple Union Gang is still full of hot air!

In the battle of Ao Island, Immortal Trust's reputation rang throughout Gangdao.

Before, they knew his methods were sinister; this time they also saw his true combat power, his methods, and his ability to handle things.

Now, if Harmony Union Victory goes to war with him, they'd easily be defeated—he's not alone, he has many tough people behind him.

None of them are easy to provoke!

Deng Fei looked at the two and said: "Tomorrow, Prosperity Ritual Hall Master Shui Bo will hold a Peace Head Wine at Backbone, giving A Le 660,000 red envelopes."

Chuanbao nodded—this counts as that little bastard giving him face!

Demanding more would just be forcing him into war with Harmony Union Victory—not worth it!

Going to war doesn't cost money?

By then his profit share will drop again, but this result is already acceptable—we can accept it.

Lao Guiwai asked a sharp question: "Uncle Deng, who will go drink the Peace Head Wine?"

Deng Fei looked at Chuanbao and said: "Chuanbao, tomorrow take A Le to Backbone, settle things—no problem?"

"Do I have to settle accounts again?"

"Or go with Shui Bo?"

Chuanbao jumped up from his chair in anger, asking incredulously.

Lao Guiwai quickly chimed in for Deng Fei, advising: "Chuanbao, this time you take A Le to settle accounts—the situation is different."

"You'll definitely be fine—do well, we all believe in you, you can do it."

Chuanbao...
