Chapter 137

Big D's body began to tremble involuntarily, and he was fully aware of it.

If this gets tied to him, whether related or not, he's doomed!

Even without He Xin making a move, many would use his head as a stepping stone, hoping to pick up some scraps from He Xin's place.

Those scraps alone could satisfy an entire force, possibly even overfill it.

If He Xin goes berserk, few on Gangdao could withstand him; even if someone could, it's not something Big D could connect with!

Li Xin watched Big D's appearance, suppressing a laugh, letting him stew a while, so this old-school jianghu person would really remember the lesson.

It's to his advantage!

Sister-in-law Big D put her arm around Big D's arm, comforting: 'Big D, don't worry, this matter has nothing to do with us; Mr. He of Ao Island shouldn't take it out on us.'

Li Xin gave Sister-in-law Big D a thumbs up, saying:

"Look, that's what a wise inner helper is called, Brother Big D; from now on, if you have any matters, consult your sister-in-law."

"If you dug out your brain, it wouldn't even weigh a tael on the scales; this kind of mental work should be left to your sister-in-law."

"You don't need to worry about this; I'll handle the aftermath. From now on, don't believe in pies falling from the sky—the filling is surely poisonous."

Big D cared about face, too embarrassed to say soft words, his face flushed red, his mouth opening and closing as he wanted to speak but couldn't.

Sister-in-law Big D looked at Li Xin with grateful eyes, saying thanks:

"A Xin, thanks to you this time; otherwise Big D would have gotten into big trouble!"

"I thank you on Big D's behalf; if anything comes up, you must speak up, and Big D will give his all."

Li Xin said indifferently:

"It's nothing; who made me and Big D brothers? I can't just ignore matters."

"I'm heading back now; let's settle this quickly to avoid complications."

Big D and Sister-in-law Big D rose to see him off; before Li Xin got in the car, Big D said:

"A Xin, I'll remember your loyalty; I won't say more—from now on, your affairs are Big D's affairs."

Li Xin patted Big D's arm, said nothing, and got straight into the car and left.

Big D and Sister-in-law Big D waited until the car disappeared from sight, then returned indoors.

Big D sat on the living-room sofa, looking at Sister-in-law Big D and said: "This time we owe it to A Xin; otherwise the trouble would have been huge!"

Sister-in-law Big D nodded, agreeing with Big D's statement, and said:

"Big D, from now on don't associate with those from Harmony United Victory! They'll bring you nothing but trouble—good things won't come looking for you either."

"Got it! With this lesson, I won't bother with those old fogeys anymore—damn, these old bastards!"

"I've already left Harmony United Victory, yet they're still scheming against me—just wait! If I get the chance, I'll give them a nasty surprise; do they really think Big D is easy to bully?"

Big D gritted his teeth, his face dark, uttering harsh words; it seems even the last vestiges of his sentimental ties with Harmony United Victory have vanished completely.

Li Xin returned to Xi Gong, directly found Liu Bo, and told him about the Film City matter.

Have him serve as supervisor; if he can hire workers in Xi Gong, he won't need outsiders—just keep an eye on things.

Liu Bo thumped his chest, promising: "A Xin, rest easy, no problem—this is a great thing; whoever dares to slack off, I'll break their legs."

After saying goodbye to Liu Bo, Li Xin went home, changed clothes, and directly took Jianjun and two others to the dock.

This time, with the two-sided favor, Li Xin will definitely see this matter through!

He must go in person to show how much he values this matter.

Regardless of whether the Chen Jincheng matter is related to the He Family affair, Li Xin will make sure they are connected, so as to maximize the favor.

He's good at this; with just a clue, he can turn it into a sweater.

They're all reasonable guesses; even if it turns out he guessed wrong in the end, he still put in effort for the He Family, right?

When the gambling hall opens, should we give him some convenience? That's been his goal all along; Chen Yaoxing is his chosen spokesperson.

If he guessed wrong, then he can only make Chen Jincheng suffer!

Li Xin could only say in his heart: Sorry! If there's a next time, he'll just say sorry again—that's all he can do.

Li Xin notified no one this time, got off the boat, and headed straight for Pu Jing Duchang with three people.

He didn't even go to his own gambling den, went straight to Liu Bo, and explained his purpose this time.

Liu Bo grasped his hand and said: "A Xin, you're thoughtful! This time, regardless of whether it's them, I thank you on behalf of the sir."

Li Xin patted the back of his hand, saying seriously: "Liu Bo, no need for formalities—this small matter isn't worth mentioning; just keep it in mind."

What kind of person is Liu Bo?

He's a seasoned jianghu veteran of several decades; hearing this, his mouth still twitched—this kid really isn't easy to deal with!

He just offered some polite words, but this kid outright set the favor in stone!

You're something else, A Xin!

Saying it's a small matter while reminding him to keep it in mind—I've never seen anything like this!

Li Xin and He Xin talked in his office for two hours; what they said, only Liu Bo knows.

After he left, He Xin told Liu Bo just one sentence: "Investigate!"

After Liu Bo left, He Xin's face darkened as he muttered: "Whoever it is, they must die!"

Li Xin didn't even see A Xing, rushed back to Gangdao overnight; by the time he reached He Min's place, it was already after midnight.

He Min sleeps lightly; hearing the commotion, she knew Li Xin had come, slipped out of the bedroom in her nightgown, and saw his travel-worn appearance.

She took off his outer clothes and asked: "What were you up to? How did you get busy this late?"

Li Xin slumped on the living-room fabric sofa, saying: "I had some urgent business on Ao Island, just got back; fix me something to eat, I'm hungry."

Ten-odd minutes, He Min carried a bowl of egg noodles, placed it on the dining table, and called him to eat: "A Xin, the noodles are ready, come over quickly to eat."

Mm, after finishing this bowl of noodles, I ate more noodles, then I went to sleep; today I'm a bit tired!

After waking up from a sleep, it was already morning the next day; He Min was reading in the living room, which made Li Xin hungry again!

He ate noodles again, then had lunch.

After finishing the meal, Li Xin asked, "Have you found a job?"

"I found one; I'll go for an interview in a few days, and if there's no problem I can start work within a week—you don't need to worry about this," He Min replied.

"Mm, that's good; otherwise having nothing to do all day would be boring—I'll leave now, and call me if anything comes up."

He Min got up, put his coat on him, smoothed out the wrinkles, then put her arms around his neck.

She said gently, "You need to be careful yourself; if there's danger, leave quickly—I'll be waiting for you at home."

Li Xin kissed her on the cheek, smiling and said, "Don't worry, no one will provoke me—I still have Jianjun and the others with me; no one is safer than me."

"This afternoon I'll have someone bring a car over for you—remember not to go out; stay home and wait for them."

Well, having a parking lot is convenient—just now a car came in from outside, a 1977 model Porsche 928—what can I say about this car!

It's very distinctive!

When He Min saw the car, her eyes held a complex expression.

She unconsciously touched her full buttocks—this damn A Xin, the car he sent is totally inappropriate!
