Chapter 428

Speaking of bandits, you still have to look at Zhang Zihuo—look, he even feeds abalone to eat! And it's top-grade abalone from a high-end restaurant.

Yang Jiguang is far behind; he took an abalone from the takeout box and stuffed it in his mouth, complaining: 'Damn, eating abalone, does he even have that mouth?'

Li Xin, naked but wearing a tie, hearing Yang Jiguang say that, quickly agreed: 'Exactly, I don't deserve to eat abalone; as long as I can go home, that's enough.'

Yang Jiguang glanced at Li Xin, reached his hand behind his back, and before he could draw his gun, Zhang Zihuo stopped him.

Listen, I decide on this matter; I say let him go, and I will definitely send him home safely.

If we don't keep our word this time, will anyone else pay us next time?

We're in a long-term business; if you ruin my reputation, don't blame me for turning against you.

Yang Jiguang reluctantly released his grip on the gun and glanced at Li Xin.

Then he said to Zhang Zihuo: 'Just don't regret it!'

Xiao Fu, looking through the scope, saw Yang Jiguang lower his hand, and only then moved his finger off the trigger.

The boss said Li Xin must come to no harm, so no one else may touch him.

Zhang Zihuo waited for Li Xin to tidy up, then covered his eyes.

Then he said to his subordinates: 'I'll send Li Xin home; you wait here for me, and tomorrow you'll all become millionaires.'

Xiao Ma frowned and said: 'Brother Hao, there's no need for you to go yourself; I'll go.'

Zhang Zihuo waved his hand and laughed: 'What's there to fear? No problem.'

The Li family mansion.

Zhang Zihuo said to Li Huanggua: 'Mr. Li, I keep my word; Li Xin will be returned intact. Please check and see if anything is missing.'

Li Huanggua waved at his daughter-in-law, telling her to take Li Ju upstairs to calm him.

Hmm! Old Li has experience in this; after the great surprise and joy, only a woman can calm that racing heart.

After Li Ju went upstairs, Li Huanggua then asked Zhang Zihuo: 'Mr. Zhang, I don't know how you want to spend this money.'

"I haven't decided yet!"

"Then why not invest in Hutchison Whampoa? I guarantee you won't have to stay in this line of work and will have enough to eat and drink, becoming a wealthy gentleman."

Whether to say it or not, this Old Li is indeed awesome; people just finished borrowing money from him, and he's already thinking about getting the money back.

Damn, this is a pure businessman—he doesn't hold grudges, only looks at money!

Zhang Zihuo left the Li family mansion with mixed feelings; after getting in the car, he sighed: 'Really awesome!'

If you put yourself in his shoes, he could never do what Mr. Li does!

Zhang Zihuo bought a bunch of food and drinks outside, then returned to the walled city.

Xiao Ma came out to get things; Zhang Zihuo opened the drinks and loudly said to these people: 'Congratulations, everyone, from today on you won't be short of money to spend!'

That was a bit premature; these people didn't know what was happening, they hadn't drunk much alcohol, yet they all passed out drunk.

When they opened their eyes, their dream of wealth also shattered.

Zhang Zihuo shouted loudly: 'Where's the money? My money?'

Yang Jiguang also woke up, dazedly asking: 'Money? What money?'

Zhang Zihuo pointed to where the money was placed and angrily asked: 'What money are you talking about?'

Yang Jiguang also came to his senses, glanced at where the money was placed, and was also dumbfounded!

Yeah! Where's the money?

He immediately flew into a rage, grabbing Zhang Zihuo's collar and asking: 'The food and drink you brought back—you must have wanted to keep it all for yourself, that's why you put drugs in the food and drink; otherwise we wouldn't get drunk from just two bottles of beer.'

"Hand over the money, I'll even accept a 3-7 split, damn it—what else do you want?"

Zhang Zihuo's men and Yang Jiguang's men all had their guns in hand; any movement would inevitably lead to a firefight.

Funny enough, at that moment a gunshot rang out; neither side hesitated any longer, raising their guns and pulling the triggers hard.

When the gunfire stopped, the only ones left breathing in the room were Zhang Zihuo and Yang Jiguang.

Zhang Zihuo had blood at the corner of his mouth, and with difficulty said: 'It really wasn't me!'

Yang Jiguang, clinging to his last breath, said his final words: 'Damn it, you won't even give me a 3-7 split!'

As Yang Jiguang lost his breath, Zhang Zihuo also lowered his head.

Li Xin and Lao Huang sat in the club's private room, each holding a glass of red wine, and Li Xin stood up and turned on the TV.

Asia TV midday news.

Host Fang Siwei was introducing the case of Kowloon Walled City.

Well, Li Xin, while watching TV, mentioned to Wang Jin, pointing at Fang Siwei and said, "This host is not bad!"

Wang Jin is also a discerning person, spending a considerable sum to lure Fang Siwei to Asia TV; after all, the boss said he's good, so Fang Siwei must be reliable.

"Ladies and gentlemen, early this morning a major shooting occurred in Kowloon Walled City; the victims were the well-known Gangdao figure Zhang Zihao and the ruthless bandit Yang Jiguang."

"More than ten bodies were found at the scene; police investigations suggest it was likely a firefight caused by uneven distribution of the loot."

"Over ten firearms and more than fifty shell casings were found at the scene; so far no witnesses have been found. Anyone with information can call Asia TV's hotline; Asia TV has a generous reward waiting for you to claim."

"For specific details, please stay tuned for follow-up reports."

Li Xin stood up, turned off the TV, smiled at Lao Huang, and asked: "How about this year-end gift? Can you produce it?"

Lao Huang patted his big belly, didn't answer his question, but instead asked back: "Have you finished your business?"

Li Xin nodded and replied: "Yeah, it's done. As for me, Li Huanggua, I won't go back on my word; after all, everyone knows each other's background, and since even Zhang Zihao could move against him, I'll just make him suffer more!"

Lao Huang laughed and said: "That's good; these small fry can be dealt with any way, just don't delay your big plans."

Li Xin laughed and said offhand: "Lao Huang, you say there's no one in Gangdao who can handle Zhang Zihao? There are plenty!"

"But this pushover is also savvy; he knows exactly who to provoke and who to avoid."

"If it weren't for cleaning up loose ends, I'd really want to keep him; he's a talent!"

Lao Huang rolled his eyes and said impatiently: "You Xiao Mengchang still lacking helpers?"

"This bum has committed quite a few cases in East Kowloon; if we don't take care of him, do I still have any face left?"

"These guys are gone; if you want to get things done, you just need to find some manpower—such an over-the-river dragon isn't exactly common, is it?"

Li Xin laughed and said: "Old Huang, old Huang, listen up, what are you saying?"

"Is that something an assistant bureau chief should say?"

Old Huang curled his lip: "What haven't I seen? Don't talk about this little thing—no matter how big it gets, Big Brother will clear the way for you; after all, you're my little brother!"

"As long as you don't cause trouble for our people, what does the life or death of those rotten bananas have to do with me?"

"Damn, let them all die cleanly, also make room for good people."

Look, this is the Big Brother who came from the era of the Money Empire; he can joke and smile with his subordinates, but his heart is also ruthless!

Whether they're our own people or not, it's all fine!
