Chapter 3: Haonan, big brother's about to go bankrupt!

Li Xin just picked up the phone when he heard the Crown Prince ask: "A Xin, Big Brother B has a few followers who went missing while looking for a car; now they've turned up at my place—are they staying with you?"

He, the Crown Prince, and Boxing King Tai have a very close relationship; among the three they speak straight to the point, stating matters directly, handling what they can immediately, and finding ways for what they cannot.

The Crown Prince and Boxing King Tai are typical fighters, their skills are superb, they can fight, and fight well.

For any gang matter, the three keep each other informed; they constitute a small clique.

Li Xin comes up with ideas, and these two handle the execution.

When these two have something to discuss, they can still reach each other by phone.

Li Xin hearing this laughed, laughing louder and louder: "Crown Prince, you say, how come my luck is so good? I'm eating barbecue, drinking cold beer, and money just fell from the sky. Those little bastards are at my place."

"Tell Big Brother B to come himself to pick them up."

On the phone, the Crown Prince spoke unhappily: "A Xin, are you about to fall into a money trap? Fine, I'll reply to Big Brother B like this." After thinking, he added: "Don't ruin the people, otherwise it'll be hard to explain."

"Explain? We're all out here making a living—who do we have to explain to?"

Li Xin ignored the Crown Prince's words; in Thus line: Prosperity, aside from Big Brother B, all the current hall masters are sharp, none are foolish.

When there's profit, they bite right away.

When there's danger, they run faster than anyone!

In these times, Gangdao has few legitimate ways for gang members to make money; the quick profits come from the contracts of movie arcades and the Ho Jiang casino, which are legal.

Everyone says dealing in counterfeit goods makes money, not bad; this can make money, but it requires talent! Otherwise who would handle the channels and manage production?

Looking at his men one by one, none of them are capable!

Li Xin scoured Prosperous Corner and Bolanjie, but still couldn't find the handsome guy named Line: Jimi.

As for real estate? Don't make trouble! That's not something a loser can think of; even Jiang Tian Sheng wouldn't dare lay a hand on it.

Reach out during the day, and by night you'll get a police round‑the‑clock protection package!

You and your chick, using a few tricks, can still end up with a record.

Big wealthy people, especially those in Gangdao who made their fortunes from real estate companies, are none of them kind; strip off their outerwear and what's revealed isn't their bodies but bloody big mouths.

．．．

Flower Tongue came to the office and told Li Xin: "Boss, Big Brother B is here."

The stocky Big Brother B walked in with Xiao Bao; Li Xin waved his hand, smiling and asked: "Brother B, long time no see—how's the wife?"

One greeting almost gave Big Brother B a heart attack—this bastard, having seen his wife only once, still asks every time they meet, "How's the wife?"

What the hell does it matter to you?

Li Xin and Big Brother B had met a few times during meetings in the main hall; Big Brother B's followers, he only knows Xiao Bao, and the current handsome guy Nan isn't qualified to enter the main hall.

Big Brother B put his tote bag on the desk, then spoke: "A Xin, my kids don't understand things; you're the elder, don't stoop to their level—take this money for tea."

"The day after tomorrow, I'll set up eighteen tables and a head wine for you, seeing if you can let this slide."

Big Brother B truly doesn't want to provoke this bastard—not because he can't beat him, but because once he gets on you, you can't easily shake him off!

You can't kill him either, so you just have to accept it.

Don't think he's just a paper fan; his reputation as Blade King Xin was earned through fighting—let alone having the Crown Prince and Boxing King Tai behind him, even Mr. Jiang offers him considerable protection.

He's really hard to deal with!

"Brother B, please sit"—after adjusting his seat on the chair, left hand resting on the desk, looking at Big Brother B, he continued: "Brother B, I still respect you, but、、、"

Hearing that, Big Brother B nearly choked with anger—you, respect me?

"A Xin, you call the shots; let's lay this out clearly—if my kids are in the wrong, I'll take full responsibility."

Big Brother B had nothing to say about Chen Haonan; he opened his mouth and assumed the consequences himself.

Li Xin lit a cigarette, took a drag, then continued: "Your followers came to Xi Gong looking for a car—that's nothing to mention; they're from the same gang, a little travel expense and they'd be on their way."

But these losers didn't even report the car's make or size, didn't want to pay, still drove the car off, and worse, they beat the parking lot manager. Big Brother B, tell me, how are you going to handle this?

If I don't sink these little bastards in the sea, Li Xin's reputation will stink—how else can I stand in the martial world?

"Or will any Tom, Dick, and Harry be able to step on me a few times?" After saying that, Li Xin's eyes flashed with a fierce light as he looked at Big Brother B.

After hearing the whole story, Big Brother B was also helpless—this matter, wherever it goes, is A Nan's fault.

Not reporting the car's model and still beating Li Xin's people—this matter has become a big trouble!

This loser, unreasonable as he is, usually causes a three‑point disturbance; this time he has ample cause, and given his understanding of Li Xin, it's impossible to settle without major bloodshed.

Big Brother B opened his mouth with a pained expression: "A Xin, this is Haonan and his crew's fault—there's nothing to say about it."

"What do you think of this? I won't charge you—I have a three‑story shop in Copper Gong Bay with a total area of six thousand square feet that I'll sell to you."

"Two million—you give me two million, and this shop is yours; if that still doesn't work, I have no choice—you go ahead and sink them into the sea!"

Hearing that, Li Xin's anger vanished; he quickly rose and sat down beside Big Brother B.

Putting an arm around his shoulders, he said with a full smile: "Brother B, we're really good brothers—this time, out of respect for you, I'll let it slide." After thinking, he added: "When shall we go through the transfer?"

Big Brother B was startled by his quick change of face! Just moments ago he was fuming mad, but upon hearing there was a benefit, he immediately broke into a broad smile.

If this loser can't strike it rich in the future, he'll eat shit upside down!

With such thick skin, not making a fortune would be difficult.

Big Brother B shook off the hand on his shoulder, annoyed: "Don't, I can't afford to call you a good brother! Just pretending to be brothers for a couple days and I'll have to sell my blood!"

Li Xin also didn't care about Big Brother B's attitude—as long as he gets the money, even if he curses him out, he can still give the most professional smile.

Never mind a few sarcastic remarks—these are trivial; the real deal is the money in your pocket.

All the fighting and killing—isn't it just about making money?

Look how good this is: Big Brother B found his missing follower, Li Xin gained a prosperous shop, everyone got what they wanted, and no fighting was needed.

Win‑win.

Big Brother B also has unspeakable bitterness—Haonan is truly capable, expanding territory for him in Copper Gong Bay.

But it really costs a lot!

First time, half of the renovation project of East Wind Garden was given to East Prosperity. This time, the hard‑won shopfront was sent out again.

I just hope Haonan learns his lesson this time; if it happens two more times, he really won't be able to hold on.

At the entrance of Xi Gong Red Letter Restaurant, Big Brother B wore a grim face, and had Xiao Bao lift Chen Haonan and the others onto the car.

Without saying a word, they started the car and drove off.

Really damn impolite!
