Chapter 138

Li Xin this guy might be feeling guilty; he found Jimi, had him look for a villa in those villa areas, buy one, and put it under Line: Qiuti's name.

For Jimi, this was too easy! He didn't spend much time and found it—a two‑story villa in Repulse Bay, about six hundred square meters, up for sale.

Li Xin followed Jimi to have a look; the villa was in good condition overall, and the yard was quite large.

The yard also had a swimming pool; the owner was a businessman whose company was doing poorly, so he was selling the property.

After walking through upstairs and downstairs, the villa was well maintained—no major renovation needed, just a simple touch‑up.

He put an arm around Jimi and said, "Leave this to you—get the house, no need to go through the company's accounts; this is a gift for your sister Line: Qiuti."

"After the deal, have Big Brother B's renovation company come over to refurbish; I'll reimburse you later—get it done as soon as possible, go ahead."

Jimi replied cheerfully: "Boss, in a few days you'll be able to move in—I'll handle this, no problem."

Time passed, and a week later Li Xin received several weighty pieces of news.

The Ao Island gambling tycoon, Nie Aotian's home caught fire; the whole family perished, none survived, burned to death in the blaze—even the feng shui fish in the house were killed!

At the same time, in Lee Garden, the gambling king Chen Jincheng's household erupted in a large‑scale gunfight.

After the gunfight, Chen Jincheng went missing; it's said that over a thousand spent shells littered the scene.

The boyfriend of the eldest daughter of the He Family died in a car crash, and this became the talk of the town.

These events had little impact on Hong Kong Island, except that the death of Deng Fei of the Prosperity Society at home shook the island's underworld a bit.

It's said he rolled down the stairs, thereby achieving the "Wind and Fire Wheel" accomplishment.

Li Xin…

No need to think too hard—he knew exactly who did it; aside from that old coot He Xin, there was no one else.

In his Xi Gong home, early that morning, Line: Qiuti stood before Li Xin and tidied his clothes.

Today his attire was very formal—a black suit, black shirt, black tie, with a small white flower pinned to his chest; for the funeral he needed to dress formally.

He kissed Line: Qiuti on the lips, slipped on his sunglasses, and walked out the door.

After getting in the car, he told Jianguo, "Go to the New Territories' Tea Fruit Ridge."

Deng Fei's funeral wasn't held at a funeral home but at the Prosperity Society's main hall in Tea Fruit Ridge.

His standing in the underworld was high, so all the notable jianghu figures of Hong Kong Island would come to pay their respects, whether sincere or not, they'd all come to see Deng Fei off.

This will be the last time!

Let's see him off!

Even Deng Fei's enemies from his lifetime will come to see him off, just to watch how he died!

These people, on this mournful day, are actually quite happy!

"Haha—!"

Well, some of them even laughed out loud!

Li Xin leaned over to that person and whispered, "Brother Jun, you're over the top! How can you laugh here? It's so impolite."

He then added, "Laugh again when we get back!"

Fu Tou Jun also came over today, smiling broadly as he said to Li Xin:

"A Xin, today is the happiest day I've had in years—this old bastard finally died! I wish he'd kicked the bucket a few years earlier!"

"Maybe there's no Fu Tou Jun left in the jianghu! Instead it's the Prosperity big brother Yuan—damn it! All because of this dead loser! Now he really is a dead loser!"

Li Xin gave him a speechless look; this guy was grinning so hard his eyes could barely stay open.

Even his tongue seemed to shrink from smiling—clearly Fu Tou Jun hated Deng Fei to the core.

Those nearby hearing their exchange immediately kept their distance; the Prosperity Society wouldn't dare provoke them, but others might not be so restrained.

Just to be safe, let's stay farther away!

Someone fearless tapped him from behind, and Li Xin turned around.

He grinned and said, "Not setting up a stall today? Can you even get a meal? Do you still have the mood to wander around?"

Yaowen gave him a sideways glance and a tap, then said, "Bring a few of the kids along to see the world."

He then called the few over and introduced them: "This is Prosperity's Xin Brother; when you see him, be polite and greet him first."

"Xin Brother!"

The three Ah Ting greeted him respectfully, and Li Xin nodded at them.

Yaowen then pointed to Fu Tou Jun and said, "This is Xin Ji's Brother Jun—make sure you remember him, he's a notable figure in the jianghu."

"Brother Jun!"

Fu Tou Jun also nodded at the three, giving Yaowen face.

After the three Ah Ting left, they finally began to chat idly.

"A Xin, you've been away from Yau Ma Tei for over a year, less than two—you've really shot up like a rocket!" Yaowen remarked.

Fu Tou Jun chimed in: "No kidding! When this loser first went to Xi Gong, I thought he was quitting the jianghu!"

"Who would've thought he'd still rise up—this scourge can pop up anywhere!"

Yaowen nodded, agreeing: "When he was in Yau Ma Tei, he'd come to my place every day to take fruit, all the while claiming he was helping me clear out expired goods."

"He's shameless! I could do nothing about him—when he came to my place, he was more punctual than showing up for work, arriving right on the dot."

Fu Tou Jun agreed with Yaowen: "Exactly—not only is he thick‑skinned, he's utterly shameless, sly and deceitful; he can pull off any dirty trick with consummate skill."

Li Xin's face darkened at their words, and he retorted sarcastically:

"You two are something! A janitor goes off selling fruit and still has the nerve to talk about me—what gall!"

"And the other guy's no good either—just finished eating meat, then turned around and cursed his dad, yet you still have the cheek to criticize me? Do you want some face?"

The two paid no heed to Li Xin's scolding, ignored him completely, chatted on by themselves, and occasionally glanced at him.

They're surely bad‑mouthing him—what kind of friends are these?

Forget it then!

Li Xin looked, then moved close to Luo Tuo's side, smiling as he said:

"Uncle Luo, I heard your East Prosperity is really fierce now! Are you really fighting it out in full swing with New Shop in the New Territories? Is that true?"

Luo Tuo now seeing him, no longer bothered others, it's just this little bastard, who gave New Shop the wherewithal to go head-to-head with East Prosperity in the New Territories.

He gave him a glare before speaking: "It's not your doing? Otherwise, what would New Shop have to fight us East Prosperity in the New Territories?"

Li Xin hurriedly protested:

"Uncle Luo, shouldn't we talk reason? For our Prosperity, Gateway Gate is just a chicken rib; New Shop wants to trade Bay Harbor's turf—if it were you, would you swap?"

Luo Tuo was angered by his shameless look! You still have the nerve to utter the word "reason"?

"Get lost now, I don't want to see your shameless face, or I'm afraid I'll lose my temper and hit you!"

Luo Tuo saw this guy just leave him, then go wander among the crowd, able to chat a few words with anyone, and he was genuinely impressed!

Beside Luo Tuo, a woman of indeterminate age, very beautiful, asked:

"Is he Immortal Trust?"

Luo Tuo replied: "Yes, this person is Immortal Trust, a pretty interesting kid."
