Chapter 154: Immortal Trust? Not worth a fart

After finishing with Wei Jixiang, I turned a corner and arrived at the door of Jingkun's film and TV company.

Jianguo called A Wu out, and A Wu saw the financier arrive, very enthusiastic.

He was still some distance away, but he shouted: "Brother Xin, what do you need? You pay, I'll work."

This guy's obsessed with money!

"Come, get in the car and talk; today I really have something for you, let you earn a sum."

Li Xin said that, then rolled up the window and waited for A Wu in the car.

After A Wu got in the car, Li Xin curiously asked: "Can you tell me how your money‑obsessed personality came to be?"

A Wu fell silent for a moment, then asked: "Brother Xin, do you still remember how we met?"

Li Xin joked: "You were being chased, I saw injustice and drew my sword to help, drove you out of the pit of fire—I tell you, you still owe me a big favor!"

A Wu then said: "Exactly, that time we went as a group of eight to do the job, and I was the only one who got away."

"It's also simple: Zidui Big Brother gave us the task, we went to do it, but as soon as we arrived we were surrounded; those seven brothers, to buy me time, were hacked to death."

"Before dying, they entrusted me to look after their families, and I agreed. You know I have no special talents, but I keep my word; whatever I promise others, I will fulfill even if it costs me my life."

"When I returned to Zidui, that Big Brother had already been killed! So Zidui refuses to acknowledge this mission, not even giving the settlement fee."

"Since then, I've never done work for Zidui again—I'll work, but you have to pay up."

"I had no choice—I could only rely on taking jobs myself to earn money to support the families of those seven brothers: kids need school, elders need medical care, nutrition must be kept up—it's expensive!"

"That's how it is: whoever pays me gets my work; no pay, don't contact me. If you do contact me, you have to pay whether the job gets done or not—otherwise I won't let you off."

Li Xin stared agape—so that's you, A Wu, a real man, a pure man!

He gave a thumbs‑up and said to A Wu: "A Wu, you're the one."

A Wu slapped his outstretched hand, saying unconcernedly: "I, A Wu, make my way in the world relying on the word \"trust\"—what I promise, I will definitely do."

Li Xin put his arm around A Wu's shoulder and said: "Today's task is easy—tonight I'll take you to Deep Water Port; it's also simple."

"If I provoke someone, you beat them up; if someone provokes me, you beat them up too—any problem?"

A Wu frowned and asked: "Brother Xin, don't mess with me! Who'd dare move against you? Out of our friendship, I'll let this slide this time, but next time you definitely have to pay—whether the job's done or not, you pay, no room for sentiment."

Li Xin explained: "I originally wanted to bring Tianhong along, but he's too heavy‑handed; doing this sort of thing in public would be troublesome."

"So I came to you to make it clear: this time I'm just looking for work—ten thousand, will you do it?"

A Wu's face changed instantly—just moments ago he was frown‑laden, now he's beaming.

"Brother Xin, give me the details—you know I handle things with discretion; whatever effect you want, I can deliver it, and then some."

Li Xin pulled out a roll of Big Gold Bull from his pocket, threw it to him, and said: "This is twenty thousand; if there's more trouble, you don't need to do it—I'll find someone else."

"No way? Besides me, A Wu, who can do this job—who'd dare muscle in on my business?"

"Don't worry, I'll tell Brother Kun—I'll roll with you today, save a day's meal money, not bad at all! Normally I mooch off Brother Kun, but today I'll hang with Brother Xin all day." A Wu said.

Li Xin had built up immunity to A Wu, ignored him, leaned back in the seat with eyes closed, really not wanting to say a word.

8 p. m., Deep Water Port Tai Chang Nightclub.

In the private room, the Hong Tai Crown Prince had Ruby underneath him, snarling: "Come on, stop pretending to be pure—others can do it, why can't I?"

"You damned slut, today I'm going to have you right in front of these people."

He turned to look at Wei Jixiang and asked: "Paparazzi Xiang, why aren't you pulling me along today? Want to see my heroic posture?"

Everyone in the room from Hong Tai laughed, only Wei Jixiang stayed calm, saying: "Crown Prince Brother, let me be frank—Ruby is the child of the neighbors of Prosperity Immortal Trust."

"They're close; if you go too far, Immortal Trust will absolutely not let it slide—that's also why I'm stopping you."

The Hong Tai Crown Prince got up from Ruby and lunged at Wei Jixiang with a big swing.

He shouted: "Using Immortal Trust to scare me? What the hell is it? If you've got guts, let it come to Deep Water Port and see if it can walk out of here."

"Holy shit, Immortal Trust? More like Street‑Rat Xin."

As his words fell, the private room's door flung open and Li Xin strode in.

Seeing him arrive, the Hong Tai Crown Prince lost all his earlier arrogance.

He said nervously: "Brother Xin, I drank too much earlier, I'm not quite sober—don't take offense, let me set out drinks to apologize; if you won't give me face, at least give Hong Tai some."

The Hong Tai Crown Prince knew exactly what kind of person Li Xin was—he wouldn't dare curse him behind his back, let alone to his face, even if you gave him extra courage.

If Immortal Trust went berserk, even his old man might not withstand it—that's why he backed down!

Li Xin had no interest in saying anything to him; he was just looking for an excuse to start a fight.

He waved at A Wu and the people behind him; they charged forward, pummeling the Hong Tai folks with heavy punches and kicks, though none were fatal.

In under ten minutes, everyone in the room except Wei Jixiang and Ruby was laid out—none of the Hong Tai people could get up.

Li Xin pointed at the Hong Tai Crown Prince, Wei Jixiang, and Ruby, and said: "Take these three away."

Hong Tai Dragon Head Pieyan Mei was in the villa playing mahjong with several Hong Tai elders.

A person from the Deep Water Port chapter burst in, not giving Pieyan Mei a chance to speak.

He blurted anxiously: "Uncle Mei! The Crown Prince was taken away by Prosperity Immortal Trust; by the time the chapter's people got there, it was too late to help—you'd better think of something fast!"

The few at the mahjong table fell silent instantly—even the one who had just drawn a pure suit of Pieyan Mei tossed his tiles right onto the table.

He frowned and demanded: "Speak clearly—what exactly happened?"

That junior caught his breath, calming his racing heart from the run.

"Today, Crown Prince Brother wants to force himself on the nightclub hostess Ruby, but Wei Jixiang told him Ruby is a neighbor of Immortal Trust—think about the consequences."

"Hearing that, the Crown Prince Brother flew into a rage, cursing Immortal Trust in the private little—unexpectedly, Immortal Trust really showed up, knocked out everyone who had taken him away, and took the Crown Prince Brother himself."

Pieyan Mei asked: "Where'd they take him?"

"I don't know! Uncle Mei, hurry and contact Prosperity or Immortal Trust themselves—if we wait any longer it'll be too late; we all know what kind of person he is."

That junior actually has some ideas—he can still suggest something to Pieyan Mei at this point!

He's a talent too!

Pi Yan Mei does not have Li Xin's phone number, but he has Jiang Tian Sheng's, Hong Tai and Thus line: Prosperity also have an incense affinity, I expect Jiang Tian Sheng will give face.
