Chapter 242

Before Di Qiu could speak, Hu Ge pointed at the fake eyeball and asked: 'A Xin! This eye is the one Chen Zhan blinded; you're just letting me off like this? On what basis?'

Li Xin directly gave him the middle finger, then spoke sarcastically: 'Hu Ge! Is this your first day out in the world? You don't even understand the principle of standing tall when taking a beating? If you're capable, go find Chen Zhan!'

'What's the point of taking out your anger on juniors? If your skill is inferior, you should accept it; don't make excuses with nonsense, it's embarrassing!'

'If anyone can take me down face‑to‑face, I won't complain; that's the fate of those in the jianghu. Since you've chosen this life, you must bear the consequences!'

Li Xin, this guy, is just talking big; is there anyone in the jianghu who could actually take him down face‑to‑face?

It's easy to talk when you're not the one getting hurt!

Hu Ge had nothing to say; they'd ganged up on him and still let Chen Zhan blind one of his eyes—that's just pathetic!

If you're weak, train more; don't complain!

Even training more might not help!

Di Qiu spoke up: 'Immortal Trust! What guarantee do you have that Chen Luojun will follow your method?'

Li Xin picked up the bottle, clinked it with the two of them, then took another gulp.

He wiped his mouth, then said: 'Brother Qiu! If anything goes wrong with this, I'll offer Chen Luojun's head as compensation—what else do you have to worry about? Speak up!'

'That's it! As long as he can change his surname to Di, this matter is over; let him come with me to Xi Gong to spend his old age.'

Hu Ge heard Di Qiu finish, furrowed his brows and asked: 'What surname Di? You want Chen Zhan's son to take the surname Di?'

'Hu Ge! You heard right! I promised Brother Qiu that Chen Luojun would change his surname to Di, and he'd wipe this matter away with chalk.'

Li Xin said with a smile, picking up the bottle and clinking it with Di Qiu.

He then turned to Hu Ge and asked: 'What do you think? Speak up now; as long as it's not excessive, I'll try to make it happen—does that work?'

Hu Ge gulped a big mouthful of baijiu, then smashed the bottle on the table.

Looking at Li Xin, he said: 'A Xin! I know you're saying all this out of concern for my feelings; if I still disagree, that would be ungrateful of me!'

'If Chen Luojun is changing his surname to Di, then let him acknowledge me as his sworn father, support me in my old age and see me to the end, and I won't pursue this matter further.'

Li Xin shouted toward the doorway: 'Chen Luojun! Come in.'

To be honest, Li Xin feels nothing for Chen Luojun; perhaps they just don't click, and a few sentences sum it up.

Chen Luojun is an orphan, honest and kind, brave and decisive, yet also a stubborn fool who clings to reason!

He is also someone who will use any means, with genuine feelings and a sense of gratitude to repay kindness.

These traits in one person create a sense of inner conflict, making Li Xin unable to take a liking to him!

To survive, Chen Luojun can do many things contrary to his nature—selling fake goods, theft, brawling and killing; he doesn't discriminate between meat and vegetables.

Fighting and killing—no problem!

He's so good at fighting; with all those jewelry shops in Gangdao, he should go after some big scores!

When he came near, Li Xin looked at him and asked: 'You probably know the situation already; what do you think of my proposal?'

Chen Luojun didn't hesitate, and replied: 'Apart from changing my surname, I can do anything else.'

Without waiting for Di Qiu and the others to speak, Li Xin swiftly rose from his chair and grabbed Chen Luojun's collar.

His eyes flashed with a murderous glint, and he spoke in a cold tone: 'Who do you think you are? You're just a nameless loser; killing you is easier than squashing an ant!'

'Am I giving you face? Making you feel like somebody?'

Li Xin released his collar, tapped his head and said: 'Remember! This isn't a negotiation; it's just out of respect for Long Shu, giving you a way out.'

Li Xin was genuinely angry; if it weren't for Longjuanfeng's face, Chen Luojun would already be a corpse!

What the hell, main character?

He's killed plenty of this sort too; there's no difference from others!

Damn it! Chen Zhan killed his own wife and children, Di Qiu agreed to this condition, and all you have to do is change your surname—what's the problem?

You can do things like selling fake goods and even have sons without assholes, yet changing your surname makes you feel wronged?

Li Xin always pays his debts; why shouldn't Chen Luojun? What makes you think you can default on what you owe?

Impossible!

Chen Luojun felt a headache and tried to block Li Xin's arm, but as he was about to swing, A Bu kicked him flying.

Since Li Xin was attacked, A Bu has been on high alert, determined not to let anyone hurt the boss.

Anyone who threatens the boss is also cutting off his siblings' bright future—this is absolutely intolerable!

Anyone who dares to move against the boss becomes his mortal enemy!

Chen Luojun was kicked by A Bu into the wall, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth—it looks like A Bu's kick wasn't light.

Chen Luojun lay on the ground, eyes flashing, wiping the corner of his mouth.

He stubbornly said: 'My surname is Chen, the Chen of Chen Zhan; I've been this since birth—I can't change it!'

'Oh! Since you're a Chen, then Chen Zhan's debts should be yours to bear—what's wrong with that?'

Li Xin crouched in front of Chen Luojun and asked, then pointed at Di Qiu: 'Your father caused him to lose his whole family; making you wear mourning for them—what's the problem?'

Chen Luojun replied: 'No problem! I'll serve them to their old age, give them mourning attire, but I will absolutely not change my surname.'

Looking at the stubborn Chen Luojun, Li Xin suddenly burst out laughing!

Temptingly, he said: "Chen Luojun! We in Xi Gong have a person named Di Luojun who looks exactly like you."

"Do you want this identity? As long as you speak up, I'll immediately send you the ID card—consider it?"

Chen Luojun!!

What was he risking his life and working himself to death for during this time in Gangdao?

It's nothing but for an ID card!

Now the opportunity is right before his eyes; as long as he compromises, he can immediately obtain a Gangdao ID card, and he won't have to risk his life!

In his mind, he thought of the boss's underground boxing arena; after going through life-and-death struggles, he still couldn't get an ID card.

He fell silent!

Li Xin stood up and returned to his seat, eyes fixed on Di Qiu, asking: "Brother Qiu! Are you still satisfied with this result?"

Di Qiu nodded and replied: "A Xin! You've already come this far; if you're still clueless, that's my own problem, it has nothing to do with you!"

Tiger Brother rubbed his false eye and also said: "No problem! A Xin, you call the shots; I'll go with Di Qiu to Xi Gong as company."

"From now on, the Tang Hall is also handed over to you; how you handle it—whether to beat or kill—I have no objection."

Di Qiu recalled what the tornado had said to him, saying Li Xin is a trustworthy person.

Asking Li Xin: "A Xin! Do you have someone you trust?"

Upon hearing this question, Li Xin thought of Heavenly Rainbow, Big Silly, and Flowery Tongue in his mind, then thought of the Crown Prince and Boxing King Tai.

He solemnly replied: "There definitely are, and not a few; those who have accompanied me from having nothing to now, I can trust."

"When I was down and out, those who never abandoned me, I can also trust."

"The people I trust most are those with pure thoughts; I can entrust my back to Heavenly Rainbow without any worry!"

"Good! I'm betting, I trust you once! Hope I won't regret it!"

Di Qiu slammed the table, his expression solemn as he spoke.
