Chapter 89: then translation of title
Just as I was about to give up, an idea came to mind; this method would work.
Turned his head to look at Ma Wang, He Shan smiled slightly and directly asked: 'Do you guys of the Righteous Sea want the Jordan turf?'
Ma Wang was stunned!
The Righteous Sea has no turf in Tsim Sha Tsui; if we could take Jordan, that would also be good!
His eyes lit up, and he directly asked: 'What are the conditions?'
'The two streets next to Tin Hung, I'll help you take two streets in Jordan; you guys of the Righteous Sea have no development on the island.'
'This is the headquarters of Prosperity; what are you doing holed up in Causeway Bay? You'd be better off mixing in Yau Tsim Mong, where you could keep Red Sister company and have someone to look out for you, right?'
Li Xin asked.
Ma Wang fell silent; this matter isn't up to him to decide, only the hall master can decide.
After thinking a while, he spoke: 'I need to go back and consult the hall master; this isn't something a single hall master like me can decide, so wait for my call.'
Li Xin and Axehead Jun exchanged a few moves, each trying to outdo the other in wickedness; playing rough, they went for deadly moves—you poke my eye, I'll gouge your crotch.
But in the end, nobody fell for it.
The onlookers who loved a good spectacle and didn't mind a big fuss felt slightly disappointed; anyway, whoever suffered a loss, they could watch it as a joke, and maybe even pick up some advantage.
Take a look, the ugly faces of these shorties are fully exposed; so to say, anyone out here mixing has no sense of righteousness!
Just now they were drinking and making merry, but after drinking they could turn hostile and deny each other—this is the norm in the jianghu.
Well, if Li Xin had the chance, he wouldn't go easy either; he'd definitely want to take some benefits.
It's all a case of you striking first and me retaliating later; nobody is more noble than the other.
Like Li Xin and Axehead Jun, though they're friends, borrowing several hundred to several million is definitely no problem; if someone runs into trouble, lending a hand is also no problem,
But, if there's a chance to strike a dark blow at the other, nobody will go easy; it all depends on how big the profit is.
This is the realistic and bloody jianghu: friends stay friends, benefits stay benefits; you must keep them separate, otherwise don't come play—you can't afford to!
This refers to the benefits in the jianghu; nobody would attack each other's legitimate businesses—that's the bottom line, otherwise nobody would get along.
Nobody would think these jianghu big brothers have no legitimate businesses, right?
It can be said with certainty, they all do.
Everyone knows the business is his, but whose name it's under is unknown.
Just like Li Xin, his business Red Signal Group is registered under Qiuti's name.
Who in the jianghu would dare bring disaster to his business?
Those triad heads and hall masters wouldn't allow it, because their businesses are even bigger.
As long as someone starts something, if they lack the strength to counter these Gangdao triad heads and hall masters, the only outcome awaiting them is to disappear into the vast sea.
Well, maybe the whole family goes swimming in the sea; nobody is special, everyone will kick the bucket.

Xi Gong
In the evening, returning home, Qiuti had already come back, and was watering the flowers and plants she kept.
Seeing Li Xin return, she hurried over to take his coat and hang it on the rack by the door.
Most of the clothes in the wardrobe are Qiuti's; Li Xin's clothes were also bought by Qiuti.
Before, he only wore T-shirts and jeans, or else a vest and big shorts; he felt these were comfortable, and wasn't used to wearing anything else.
After hanging up the clothes, Qiuti sat beside Li Xin and asked: 'How come you came back so early today? Aren't there a lot of people? Didn't you go out to have fun?'
Li Xin knew what she meant; Qiuti's good point is that she never interferes with his outside affairs—every time he goes out to play, he comes back without losing his temper.
If this were his previous life, his wife could have scratched him to death, and even his mother wouldn't recognize him!
I heard that in the neighboring province, the brothers there even have a men's domestic violence shelter!
Compared to that, the sense of happiness emerges.
He swept Qiuti into an embrace and said: 'Playing with them is boring; if it's just me going out alone with Ji Ge and Bo Shu, that's still okay.'
Moreover, I don't even care for the vulgar crowd at nightclubs; how could anyone compare to your beauty?
You know, I have a reputation in this regard—I never mess around; if I take a liking to someone, I just keep them outside, and this house has only you; no one else can set foot inside.
Qiuti kissed Li Xin; she's been in Gangdao for a while too, and knows the situation there.
Nowadays, quite a few people take two wives, and several aren't rare either, as long as they can afford it.
It's only been a few years since abolishing polygamy, but I hear those big tycoons still have several wives.
She's long been mentally prepared for this; even if the main wife isn't her, she's ready, as long as in this Xi Gong house she's the only one, that's enough.
Like A Xin, such a Big Brother of the jianghu, to this day he only has her—already a miracle!
Who isn't like flowers flying everywhere; the underwear you wore out this morning might not be the same pair you come back with at night.
Furthermore, she came to Gangdao with no support; being able to have her current life is already satisfying, and she couldn't ask for more.
Doing that would only push A Xin into someone else's arms, serving no other purpose.
A Xin treats her well too, never forcing her to do anything; as long as she's happy, that's fine.
Lifting her head from A Xin's embrace, looking at his handsome face, however she looks at it, she likes it.
Li Xin lowered his head to look at her and asked: 'What are you staring at me for?'
Qiuti kissed him again, smiling and said: 'A Xin, do you think our child will be very pretty?'
Li Xin fell silent for a moment, then told her: 'Qiuti, wait a few years for me; it's too dangerous now, before the group stabilizes, don't bring this up—you know, I'm currently walking a tightrope.'
'But I promise you, we will definitely have a child, and he or she will be able to enjoy a life in this world that most people cannot, guaranteeing them a lifetime of freedom from want.'
'Mm, I believe you; you've never lied to me, and that's already good enough.'
Qiuti put her arms around Li Xin's waist and said.
……
Righteous Sea General Hall.
Inside the photo studio, Ma Wang was talking with Chai Shu about the content of Li Xin's proposal today.
"Hall Master, do you think this can be done?"
Chai Shu fiddled with his prayer beads, thought for a moment, then said: "A Xin is right; you haven't developed in Copper Gong Bay, no one will let you expand your territory, and Prosperity won't just ignore it."
"That's their main base; other societies being able to have a hall on this island are the product of several compromises."
"Jiang Zhen, that dead bastard, is capable; why hasn't he expanded his territory on this island? Isn't it because the Hong Kong government and police are pressuring him, not letting him move?"
"Now the situation is different again; many forces have entered this island. Although Prosperity still has great strength, it's no longer just them calling the shots."
"A Xin's proposal can be agreed; this way you can mobilize people, you take people to Oil Point Prosperous, with Jordan being this transportation hub, our Righteous Sea can link up the forces in Oil Point Prosperous."
"A Xin kid sees things really accurately; how come he's not part of the Righteous Sea?"
Ma Wang thought for a moment, then asked: "If we take Jordan, we won't let go of Copper Gong Bay either?"
Chai Shu's gaze at him was like looking at a fool!
Really daring to think!
