Chapter 268

Time passed quickly; at dawn, yesterday's traces of firefights everywhere had vanished, as if nothing had happened.

Shenxian Jin didn't sleep all night, summoned his trusted aides, and began arranging the transfer of his family; this must be done promptly.

He told his subordinates to make sure his family's safety, give the prepared cash to his trusted aides so they could spend it on the way.

This trusted little brother, just stepped out the door, looked back with a complex expression.

Big Brother, you have family to arrange, I'm not alone either!

He came to a roadside phone booth and dialed a number.

"Lai Ge!"

After arranging everything, Shenxian Jin took a deep breath, his eyes firm as he looked toward the direction of Victoria Peak.

He knew that the water house would be extremely difficult from now on.

But he had made thorough preparations; no matter what, he would persevere to the end, with no retreat.

He hoped the Lee family would, seeing his efforts, give him an explanation.

He picked up the phone and dialed the number of Lee family head Lee Fai-wong.

He said respectfully: "Mr. Lee, I am acting on the young master's orders, I have clashed with Immortal Trust, and now the water house can't hold on; I hope you can help us."

Lee Fai-wong furrowed his brows and asked: "This is a business matter; how would Lee Chao-hai let you handle it? Isn't this nonsense?"

"Moreover, why didn't you inform me about this? Now that something's happened, coming to me is useless."

"The Lee family has no connections with any other groups besides your water house."

"You should still find someone to make peace and see if this can be settled peacefully."

"Our Lee family has long withdrawn from the jianghu; we no longer have resources for this."

"Anyway, it was Lee Chao-hai who told you to do this; I can give you some money, and that's it—hang up!"

Shenxian Jin hung up the phone dazedly, his eyes full of helplessness and despair.

He couldn't figure out how, after putting so much into the Lee family, he got no explanation.

He had thought the water house was raised by the Lee family themselves, and they would never abandon them in trouble.

Now he realized he was wrong, terribly wrong.

He didn't even let him finish speaking before Lee Fai-wong hung up!

Lee Fai-wong hung up, sat in his luxurious office, his heart unmoved—what an idiot!

He thought Shenxian Jin was a fool, a tool to be used and discarded at will, yet dared to make demands?

He never regarded Shenxian Jin as one of his own; he was merely a chamber pot for odd jobs.

After thinking, he picked up the phone and called Lee Chao-hai.

"Come to my office; I have something to discuss with you."

Lee Chao-hai arrived quickly, though his spirits were low.

Last night he took a puff, then, emboldened, he gave Li Xin a thorough scolding.

After scolding, he got a bit hyper, and still hasn't come down.

Lee Fai-wong looked at his state and said, frustrated:

"How many times have I told you not to touch those things? In this condition, how can I entrust the Lee family to you?"

"I know, Dad."

Lee Chao-hai said perfunctorily.

"What do you know? If you keep this up, you'll ruin yourself sooner or later!" Lee Fai-wong shouted, slamming the table.

"Alright, alright, I know."

Lee Chao-hai, looking annoyed, plopped onto the sofa and asked: "What exactly did you call me for?"

Lee Fai-wong glared at him, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself, after all, he's his own flesh and blood.

And you can't even beat him to death!

He asked: "What do you plan to do about Shenxian Jin?"

"What else can we do? He's just a dog we raised; now that he's messed up, of course we let him sink or swim."

Lee Chao-hai said disdainfully.

"Shenxian Jin this waste can't even handle a hollow second-route marshal; what else can he do?"

Lee Fai-wong fell silent for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face.

He praised: "Not bad, remember, this chamber pot is gone; as long as there's money, a new one will appear. As for Li Xin, how do you plan to handle him?"

Lee Chao-hai sat on the sofa, legs crossed, a hint of disdain on his lips, looking at Lee Fai-wong as he spoke.

"That rascal Li Xin thinks a little money lets him challenge the Lee family?"

"If the water house won't work, we'll strike elsewhere; if we don't regain this face, how will others view the Lee family?"

Lee Fai-wong felt somewhat helpless, looking at his son before him, sighing inwardly.

Just now I praised him for being smart, and in an instant his thinking went off track again.

"The Lee family are prominent figures in Gangdao; how can we stoop to the level of a rascal like Li Xin and get tangled up?"

Lee Fai-wong took a deep breath to calm himself, then said: "Let's teach him slowly!"

"People like Li Xin are troublesome; if we can't kill him in one go, future trouble will be endless."

"Anyone who can climb out of the mire in the jianghu is no pushover!"

"Especially since he's so young!"

Lee Fai-wong lifted his head, looked at Lee Chao-hai, and said: "We can't compete with Li Xin in ruthlessness; that would only make things worse."

Lee Chao-hai stared blankly at Lee Fai-wong, not understanding his meaning.

Lee Fai-wong chuckled and continued: "Our Lee family has money and influence; we can use these to win over Li Xin."

Since he has some ability, and the water room is still abandoned, we might as well turn him into the water room and let him work for us.

Li Zhaohai furrowed his brows, a hint of worry showing in his eyes.

He asked doubtfully, "Li Xin that good-for-nothing has considerable assets and even set up a real estate company; how can we win him over?"

Li Huihuang smiled slightly, a glint of sharpness flashing in his eyes, and said confidently, "You're still too young."

"Although Li Xin has money, his real estate company has expanded too quickly recently, and its cash flow is very tight."

"We can take advantage of this, give him some financial support to help him get through the crisis; the Li family never lacks money."

Li Zhaohai frowned and asked, "It can't be that easy, can it?"

Li Huihuang looked at him and said, "We're playing a long game; as long as Li Xin accepts our help, he'll owe us a favor."

"In the future, if we have any troublesome matters that need his help, he won't be able to refuse easily; fishing requires patience."

Li Zhaohai suddenly realized and praised, "I see, you're still the clever one."

Li Huihuang smiled and said, "Remember, in the business world, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests."

"As long as you are good at using others' weaknesses, you can achieve your goals."

The Li family elders were just talking to themselves here, never considering whether Li Xin would accept their "good intentions"!

The Li family elders sat in a high place, looking down over everything below.

They felt they had already grasped the development of the situation.

The course of this matter was entirely under their control.

Their assumptions made them overlook many important factors, which would lead to unexpected consequences.

For example, Li Xin doesn't need help; he wants compensation.

After scolding Li Xin, he still wants to run?

Just when he was worried about finding an excuse! The Li family's foolish son brought it to him.
