Chapter 432: with translation of chapter title

Li Xin came out of the private room, and A Ye pulled him to the office.

After closing the door, he said: "Big Brother, Ni Yongxiao of the Ni family wants to exchange a few plots of land in Tsim Sha Tsui for information about who killed his father—do you think we can take this job?"

Li Xin tapped his thigh and said to A Ye: "You go out first; I'll make a call to see if we can do it."

"Okay, Big Brother!"

Although he didn't think highly of Huang Zhicheng, if Huang was someone on Old Huang's line, then Li Xin wouldn't get involved.

Li Xin called Old Huang and got straight to the point: "Big Brother, what background does Huang Zhicheng of the Yau Tsim Police District have?"

Old Huang snorted: "That bastard is a snitch, posing as a foreign devil; he's backed by the Political Department. If you want to move against him, be careful—those Political Department bastards aren't easy to provoke."

"Understood!"

Li Xin hung up, called A Ye in, and told her: "Tell Ni Yongxiao that his father was killed by someone hired by Han Chen's wife; the killer is Liu Jianming."

"As for how to verify this news, given his intelligence, he surely won't be clueless about what to do."

"Once you get those plots of land, hand them directly over to Red Letter Real Estate to handle, paying them at normal market rates."

"That money will stay in the club's account—after all, you guys deserve some hard-earned pay, right?"

A Ye didn't refuse either; there's no need to be pretentiously polite with one's own Big Brother.

"Understood, Big Brother—I'll get on it right away."

Li Xin took out his notebook, glanced at it—hmm, things have been fine lately, nothing urgent waiting for him to do.

As the saying goes, speak of the devil—just after saying there was nothing going on, Aodao's A Xing called.

He opened with: "Big Brother, do you still remember the big brother?"

"Who?"

A Xing explained: "Big Brother, it's that older brother who used to follow me."

"What's wrong?"

"Big Brother, the big brother representing Golden Coast came to Aodao to negotiate with me, wanting to buy a stake in our casino at a high price, but I turned them down."

Li Xin said impatiently: "Spit it out—what's the problem?"

Upon hearing that, A Xing hurriedly said: "Big Brother, the big brother told me when he left that if we don't agree to the stake, Golden Coast won't let it rest—so I should think it over."

Li Xin sneered: "A Xing, you're getting more and more useless—how can you let that loser walk out of Aodao? What are you doing?"

Chen Yaoxing's face flushed red, and he had no reply to the Big Brother's reprimand.

Without making excuses, he immediately admitted fault: "Big Brother, this time it's my fault—I was feeling nostalgic. If he dares to step onto Aodao again next time, I'll personally see him off."

Only then did Li Xin say: "A Xing, remember—whether it's Golden Coast or the High Table, if they dare to cause you trouble, just wipe them out."

"I'll send people to Aodao right away—if they dare show their faces there, we won't stand on ceremony; we'll leave none alive."

"Also make them understand one thing: Southeast Asia isn't their backyard; if they want to come here to scavenge, they need to learn the rules."

"If they don't know the rules, teach them with bullets; if they still won't learn, keep killing them for me—once they learn, we can sit down and talk."

"Foreign devils respect force, not virtue; if you don't hurt them, they won't remember the lesson."

"Understood, Big Brother!"

Chen Yaoxing hung up and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

He thought to himself, "Still need the Big Brother—with that domineering aura, I still have a lot to learn!"

Li Xin picked up the phone again and called Yingjiang Hong Wensheng.

"Sheng Ge, I'm Li Xin—do you know the background of Golden Coast?"

Hong Wensheng frowned and asked: "A Xin, have you run into conflict with Golden Coast?"

"No, it's them going to Aodao to cause trouble for my disciple, wanting to buy a stake in our Aodao casino—their attitude makes me uncomfortable, so I want to give them a lesson."

After hearing that, Hong Wensheng didn't know what to say!

All he could say was: "A Xin, if it can be resolved peacefully, then do so as much as possible; if not, then strike hard—root them out, leave no future trouble."

"The Yingjiang Grand Hall is also a member of the High Table Council, just like Golden Coast—both hold top-tier seats."

"You're not a High Table member; if you clash with Golden Coast, they can call on the High Table Council's power to deal with you."

"If you can pull through this, the High Table will extend an olive branch to you; if you can take out most of Golden Coast's elite, you could replace their position."

"Put bluntly, the High Table Council runs on strength—there's no sentiment here, only interests."

Li Xin narrowed his eyes and asked: "Do you have detailed intel on Golden Coast?"

Hong Wensheng replied readily: "Yes, including that director—I have full details here, and they have ours too; after all, once you're in this circle, nobody can stay hidden."

"Only the Great Elder is mysterious—so far we've only uncovered some superficial traces; I suspect this person is a Middle Eastern proxy, otherwise they wouldn't be so generous."

"All the High Table Council's operating funds come from the Great Elder, and they usually don't make demands on us—after all, everyone's strength is plain to see."

"He can only engage in exchanges; he can't get us to work for him for free."

Li Xin curiously asked: "What level of strength do the top-tier seat members have? Are they all like the Grand Hall?"

Hong Wensheng smiled and gave a name: "The Yingjiang Five Great Families occupy one top-tier seat; internationally, many well-known organizations are basically High Table Council members."

Even though Li Xin was mentally prepared, hearing that still sent a chill down his scalp.

Li Xin asked: "Does Y Continent have a top-tier seat?"

"No, not even the Yamaguchi-gumi qualifies for entry, let alone a top-tier seat."

"If you can unite all the gangs of Gangdao, the High Table Council will greet you with smiles and the highest etiquette."

After hearing Hong Wensheng's explanation, Li Xin laughed and said: "Sheng Ge, don't even think about it—the day I finish uniting Gangdao's gangs will be my death day."

"We both know the score—unless I put a dog leash on myself, this isn't even worth thinking about."

"Haha!"

Upon hearing Li Xin say that, Hong Wensheng laughed: "A Xin, Chairman Lin thinks highly of you; he told me personally that if you were a member of the Grand Hall, he'd hesitate not at all to pass the position to you."

"Looks like Chairman Lin has good judgment—A Xin, you really are clear-headed; that's something many people can't manage."

If the conflict with Golden Coast is unavoidable, I will send you intelligence here, but remember: once fighting starts, send people to eliminate Golden Coast's high-ranking officials; only then can we exchange the smallest cost for the greatest benefit.

Since dead people have no value, you will become the new recruitment target.
